Tips To Keep Your Child Active For Life
As the problem of childhood obesity is getting severe in western countries, parents should encourage their children to exercise and teach them how to look after themselves at an early age. The following are some tips to keep your child active in exercising.
1) Put a limit to time for television, computer and video games. Get your kids away from focusing on television and video games. For instance, you can get the television out of the bedrooms or not having more than one of it. Video and computer games are never necessities for the kids’ life.
2) Keep activities safe. You should make sure that your children have spent enough time on warming up and cooling down before and after doing organized sports. You also have to know where the appropriate safety equipment is. Remind your children to drink enough water and wear the suitable footwear. They will not get injured so easily if they are well-prepared.
3) Build a daily routine. You should find some time per day to do physical exercises. For example, you can wake up earlier to walk the dog or go to the park after school.
4) Spend some time with your children and play together. For example, you can play soccer or take a walk with them. This can encourage your children to be active.
5) Little exercise is also advantageous. Try to park a bit further away from where you are going. Walking up and down stairscases instead of taking the lifts.
6) Encourage your children to be active by giving them presents. It is a good time to buy presents now as Christmas is coming. You should buy them presents that can encourage them to be active. For example, a ball, a bat or a bike. Do not forget to buy the appropriate safety equipment that could reduce the risk of getting injured.
Try the 6 ways to make it fun and safe for your kids to keep active. If your kids find in their early stage that being active is fun it is more likely that they will keep on being active and stay healthy.
