Dr Elinor Steel, Child Healthy Weight & Child and Young Person Weight Management Coordinator, Lanarkshire Weight Management Service, said: “Full of Beans is a fantastic programme for families to come along and have fun and be active!
“No class is the same as a new theme is introduced every week for families to learn from such as healthy behaviours, fussy eating and snacks. The class begins with everyone learning and getting involved in the Full of Beans song, before playing exciting games.
“Children really enjoy their time there and the full family can learn more about living a healthier lifestyle.”
One Full of Beans participant said: “The classes are very friendly, I would 100% recommend to a friend. There are songs and games for the kids to enjoy and lots of running and playing too!”
