Parents: Encourage your kids to spend at least 30 minutes in physical activity every day:
- Play with your child at a local park or playground.
- Encourage your child to play outside and play with them (e.g. basketball, kickball, football, etc.).
- Ride bicycles with your child.
- Attend and support your child’s school sporting activities/events.
- Give your child the option to walk with you to a local store or restaurant.
- Walk with your child at a local walking trail or in a neighborhood or mall.
- Support your child! Encourage them when they want to be physically active.
- Be a role model! If your child sees you eating smart and participating in physical activities regularly, he or she will be more likely to do the same.
