A Family Plan for Healthy Living
The summer months naturally lend themselves to outdoor family activities. As families prepare for back to school, it’s not uncommon for family time to begin to take a back seat to school priorities. As you move into a busy fall, try to make it a priority to squeeze in some family time and one great way to do this is by engaging in physical activities together. Children are naturally active and love jumping around and playing, and with the return to school, they are going to want to burn off energy – not to mention steal some time with mom and dad too . Getting them engaged in physical activity, and some family bonding time, not only helps children succeed in school, but it also encourages children to develop positive attitudes toward healthy lifestyles. By doing so at an early age also makes it more likely children will carry healthy-living habits with them into adulthood.
