Childhood obesity is growing at an enormous rate, I personally think parents play a large part in this by not interacting with there children as much as they should. (Yes I do understand that time can sometimes play a factor) Here are a few tips that you could do to get your kids active:

1. Find out what sport your child enjoys playing and enroll them, studies show that not only does joining a team help reduce weight gain but also raises your Childs self-esteem.
2. Take your child to the park, a ball and glove is pretty inexpensive and will help with hand eye coordination. You could also purchase a Frisbee.
3. Go hiking, it’s a great time for bonding and also enjoying the great outdoors.
4. Take your child fishing
5. Try and get your child more involved in after school activities (Studies show that children enrolled in after school activities increases there academic grades by 20%)
6. Have your child join the YMCA (Great for activity and interacting with other children)

As parents, it’s our responsibility to give our children a fair opportunity to start adult hood healthy. I hope you enjoyed my recommendations. Do you have something that works well for you that you would like to share? If so please do
