Exercise and Your Child - Teaching Your Child To Be More Physically Active
One of the major concerns in our culture is the rapidly rising weight of our nation's children. For many, the problem has far surpassed the idea of being "cute and chubby" and has moved on to being morbidly obese. One only needs to look at the proliferation of fast food restaurants and other nutritionally empty foods that have become popular in recent years in order to realize their detriment to our children. With the busy lifestyles that parents lead, it is often easier to "stop and get something" rather than to come home and prepare a nutritionally well-balanced meal for the family.
Not only is food a problem that keeps our children overweight, but also our sedentary lifestyle is a major contributor to the childhood obesity epidemic. When we were children, we spent most of our time outside, playing kickball, hopscotch, and jumping rope. Today, children watch television, surf the Internet, and play video games. The rise in kidnappings is part of the reason that parents do not let their kids roam the neighborhoods the way they did as children. But, in keeping our children safe from predators by keeping them inside, we often put them in danger of health problems due to obesity. There is a way around this dilemma!
There are several things that parents can do to encourage their children to become more active. The best way to encourage children to exercise is to be an example. Even when your children are babies, they should see you exercising, making physical activity an important part of your life. As they grow up seeing you enjoying being active, they will learn that exercise and physical activity is fun and an important part of your life.
Make exercise fun for your family. Think of things you can do together that encourage your children to get up and start moving! Install a basketball hoop in your driveway, and spend time shooting hoops with your kids. If your kids enjoy riding bikes, get yourself on your bike and take a ride as a family. If your child enjoys martial arts, then enroll him or her and a karate class. The key is to find something that inspires your child and encourage them to pursue that activity.
Another way to get your child moving even if the weather outside is not conducive to outside activities is through exercise videos. Find an exercise video or DVD that is aimed at children, and do the routine with your children. Not only will your children be healthier, but you just might loose a few pounds as well! Again, keep it fun! Laugh at the mistakes that you make, and stay upbeat!
Not all children have the ability to be athletic. If you child does not have an affection toward any sport, do not force them into playing sports. Sports are not the important factor when teaching your child about exercise. The importance of finding fun and enjoyable activities that your child will look forward to doing should be a parent's main focus to reduce the child's inactive habits. Helping them to see that exercise is not a mundane, boring part of life but rather a fun and exciting idea will help ensure that your child will take these ideas with them as they grow into healthy adults.
