YOU WILL BETTER CONNECT WITH YOUR CHILDREN IF YOU PLAY WITH THEM
YOU DON'T HAVE TO LOOK ANY further than the mirror to identify your child's main role model.
Children naturally mimic their parents -and that includes their attitude toward exercise .
If you want your child to be more active ,you can't just talk the talk .You need to walk the walk .And run the run .And bike the bike .
Studies show that children are more likely to exercise if their family and friends are interested in physical activity .
Exercise as a family to make fitness fun and ensure that everyone is getting the recommended level of activity they need .Children ages 6 to 17 should get at least an hour of physical activity everyday ,according to the U.S .Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention ;adults require about half of that .
Besides the obvious physical benefits from exercise ,such as increased endurance and strength and maintaining a healthy weight ,active children are generally more confident and more likely to be successful both in their daily school work and on standardized tests .
Here are some activities for the whole family to try :
(1) Walk the dog together .
(2) Bike or walk to a neighborhood park .
(3)Take an exercise class designed for the entire family ,such as yoga or aerobics.
(4)Go to the swimming club as a family .
(5) Walk to the nearby temple together.
(6) Split up into teams for a game of basketball ,soccer or kickball .
(7 )Any other activity which the family can do together you like as a family .
Teach your kids the jump rope games from your youth .
(8) Play catch with a baseball ,softball or Frisbee .(THROWING OF DISC)
(9)Compete an exercise based video game ,such as Wii Fit or Dance Dance Revolution .
(10 )Go for an outdoor scavenger hunt for natural objects such as leaves of different colors .It is fall .The leaves are wearing all the colors .
Make physical activity as much a part of your family's daily habit as eating dinner together .That way exercise will be just another part -maybe even the most enjoyable part -of your family routine .
