The publication is a resource to give children’s museum professionals ideas and tips for implementing successful models to support healthy families. The articles included in the publication show the range of innovative health-related programs, exhibits, initiatives and other practices at children’s museums across the United States, as well as in the United Kingdom. Healthy Kids, Healthy Museums is one component of ACM’s Growing Healthy Museums project, funded through a grant from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services. The project seeks to increase children’s museums’ institutional capacity, knowledge and skills to become leaders in promoting health and wellness in their communities. Growing Healthy Museums is a signature project of Good to Grow!®, ACM’s national initiative to improve the health and wellness of our nation’s families through museum programs, exhibits, partnerships and institutional practices. Serving more than thirty million visitors a year, children’s museums have enormous potential to reach children and parents with healthy messages. Good to Grow!® highlights the following key messages: ō Eating healthy foods in the right amounts; ō Increasing physical activity; ō Reducing screen time (including computer and TV); and ō Connecting with nature through outdoor play. The articles appearing in Healthy Kids, Healthy Museums were selected from among forty-two proposals submitted to ACM in 6SULQJ7KH\UHSUHVHQWPXVHXPVZLWKVPDOOWRODUJHEXGJHWVLQXUEDQDQGVXEXUEDQORFDWLRQV7KHSUDFWLFHVSURğOHGWRRNSODFHDW the museums between 2008 and 2009. Some are still ongoing; others have ended or evolved. Each practice addresses one or more of the four Good to Grow!® messages. The organizing principle that emerged from the submissions was the different ways that children’s museums take a stand on an issue and make an impact on their communities—from developing exhibits, programs or events, to making an institution-wide commitment to an issue affecting the lives of visitors or staff. I would like to acknowledge all those who contributed to Healthy Kids, Healthy Museums: the writers representing thirty different museums, editor Mary Maher, the members of the Growing Healthy Museums Working Group and the ACM staff team. Their work has led to the creation of a publication that we hope will seed healthy practices at more museums and in more communities around the globe.
