Raising Active Kids

October 11, 2016

Did you know that only 1 in 3 children is physically active every day? Physical activity has many benefits, including improving strength, endurance, and coordination, helping build strong bones and lean muscle, reducing fat, increasing focus and attentiveness, and enhancing emotional well-being. By making physical activity a priority, and serving as a role model for your child, you can help exercise become a lifelong habit.

Studies have shown that parents’ own activity levels have a big influence on how active their children are. You don’t need to be a star athlete yourself, only to get moving and be creative!

Help your child find a sport or activity they enjoy, such as:

  • Dancing
  • Bike riding
  • Skateboarding
  • Running
  • Swimming
  • Martial arts.

Encourage them to play outside with neighbors or friends. Games are a great way to get kids moving. Try:

  • Tag
  • Hide-and-go-seek,
  • Red light-green light
  • Frisbee

Get the entire family involved with family bike rides or walks, or just simply play with your child. Provide active toys, such as balls and jump ropes. In addition, limit the amount of time spent on sedentary activities like watching television, playing video games, or on the computer. Incorporate activity into your child’s day by walking when you would have previously driven and taking the stairs instead of the elevator.

By taking even small steps, you can help your child create healthy habits while having fun along the way.
