Keeping your children physically active is extremely important. It’s nice for parents to not have to fight to get their children to go to sleep because they have used their energy doing activities that are healthy for their bodies and their minds. There are many reasons parents should keep their children active. These reasons include preventing and reducing health problems, stress relief, focus improvement and increased self-esteem.
There are a few different forms of exercise children need regularly namely cardiovascular, muscle strengthening and weight bearing exercise. There are numerous games to play, activities to do or even classes your children can take to keep them as active.
