Today, activities that keep children inactive, playing computer and video games and watching television predominate. As the parent of a toddler, however you have the opportunity to prevent that inactivity cycle from taking hold by helping your child to enjoy exercise now. You can also greatly increase the odds that exercise will remain life-long companion. Now, I am going to tell you how.
Unplug the TV – Don’t let cartoons and video games glue your child to the sofa during his or her formative years. Using TV as a baby sitter, as a time filler or as mood stabilizer, but opportunities for muscle expanding activities, as well.
Fit fitness in – Be sure that from an early age your child spends some time each day outdoors, at a playground, in your backyard, anywhere where running, climbing and jumping are safe and hard to resist.
Get up and go with your toddler – If activity doesn’t come naturally to your toddler, encourage by getting physical together. Supplement sedentary parent-child pastimes with active ones.
Set a fit example – think about the path you are leaving for your child to follow: does it lead all too often to the television, the easy chair, or the car? Your child’s future fitness depends a lot more on how you pass your free time than on how many exercise, gymnastics and dance classes you sign him up.
Check classes out before you check your toddler in – There’s nothing wrong with signing your toddler up for a weekly exercise, gymnastics or movement class, as long as the teacher main goal is making fitness fun. Observe a class before you enrol your toddler. Look for instructors who motivate but don’t push equipment that is age appropriate and safe.
Teach respect for the body – when children learn to respect their bodies, they tend to take care of them. Show the respect by the way you feed the family; by the way you avoid cigarettes, the abuse of the alcohol, drugs and by seeing that the family exercise together. But also talk about how it is important to take care of our bodies.
