Again, the goal here is super-simple – just help your kids
(and yourself) sit less each day!
Here are three easy ways to make it happen: |
| Limit Sitting
Activities |
| Set a daily limit of two hours maximum on the amount
of time you and your kids spend: |
|
Watching TV, movies or videos
|
|
Using the computer and Internet
|
|
Playing computer and video games
|
| Encourage Movement |
| Encourage activities that require movement as often as
possible. Some ideas: |
|
When the kids tell you "I'm bored…" give them some of our easy at home
and indoor weather activity ideas. You can even join in!
|
|
Purchase birthday or holiday gifts that promote physical activity.
|
| Take Out TV |
| If your child has a TV in the bedroom, take it out. |
|
Rather than using TV time as a reward, use a family bike ride or a
gift certificate to a sporting goods store instead.
|
|
Encourage activities that involve the entire family.
