Top tips for keeping kids active
Eat well
A balanced and varied diet is key to helping your child stay healthy and full of energy
Get moving
Activity is vital for strengthening muscles and bones. Why not try a family activity that’s fun for all ages such as cycling? Children over 5 years should aim for 60 minutes of activity every day. Children aged 1-4 years should aim for 180 mins a day.1,2
Reduce screen time
experts advise children should have no more than 2 hours of screen time a day. Encourage them to do some offline activities instead such as drawing, crafts or writing a story.3
Walk to school
walking is free and it builds strength. It also increases stamina and boosts the immune system for 24 hours! Why not make it a regular family activity?4
Join a club
if your child loves a particular activity such as dancing or swimming, find out if there is a club they can join. It’s a great way for mums and kids to socialise and make new friends.
