Only 1 in 3 children are physically active every day. The numbers are startling and with more cutbacks on physical activity programs in schools, the numbers are likely to rise. Parents play just as big of a role as schools do in helping their child become more physically active so start today by inducing a passion for physical movement by introducing your children to the fundamentals of physical activity.

Is the sport right for your child?
Sometimes finding the perfect sport takes some trial and error but with an endless amount of options, there must be a fit for your child and your family’s goal. Don’t limit your child to a single sport since there are countless options available including team and individual sports, beginner classes, and even simple free family activities.

Does your kid enjoy running around in the backyard or watching her brothers play netball? Often what we love doing for fun translates to what we enjoy doing as a sport, especially for children. So spend some time examining your kids to find out what activity would be the perfect fit based on their interests.

Getting your child to adopt a physical activity lifestyle at an early age will translate to a greater love of it later in life. Watch the full video to gain more tips from Cat Kom & Bethany!
