Like adults, kids need exercise. Most children need at least an hour of physical activity every day. Regular exercise helps children


 

• Feel less stressed

• Feel better about themselves and increase their self esteem.

• Feel more ready to learn in school

• Keep a healthy weight

• Build and keep healthy bones, muscles and joints

As kids spend more time watching TV, they spend less time running and playing. Parents should limit TV, video game and computer time. Parents can set a good example by being active themselves.

Motivation is key to adults and children. Give them the opportunity to do better in all aspects of their life.
