the following helpful advice:
Incorporate Family Activity Time:
Find out what physical activities your
child likes to do for fun. Then, find
ways to incorporate those activities
into family time. Here are some ideas:
ride bikes or roller blade at the park,
play touch football or soccer in the
backyard, or have relay races with
a mix of physical activities including
sprints, jump-rope and hula-hoop ex-
ercises.
Limit Dining Out: Cooking at
home can help parents keep track
of the calories in each meal and help
them control the amount of food their
child is consuming. Parents can also
make eating at home fun by having
their child assist them in choosing
what’s for dinner. If parents do decide
to dine out, they should be sure their
child eats plenty of vegetables and
that they are watching their child’s
meal portions.
Look into Children’s Fitness Pro-
grams: Increasing more in popularity,
child play centers offer an opportunity
for your child to spend more time with
kids his or her age and participate in
physical activities, such as gymnas-
tics.
