The article dicusses the need for early, culturally grounded interventions to support healthy beverage habits among Navajo and other Indigenous children. While early childhood education programs are generally promoting healthy choices, most children remain at risk due to inadequate hydration and high sugar-sweetened beverage intake, compounded by ongoing challenges in water accessibility and safety.

Future efforts should focus on community engagement and culturally responsive strategies to sustain healthy habits.
