Being Active
Being physically active every day is important for the healthy growth and development of young children. Set a good example by going for a walk or a bike ride. Playing in the park or swimming with your child shows them being active is fun.
All movement counts. The more the better!
Why not try:
messy play, jumping, walking, dancing, swimming, playground activities, climbing, active play, like hide and seek, throwing and catching, scooting, riding a bike, being outdoors
Healthy Eating
Just like adults, children should aim to eat 5 or more portions of fruit and vegetables every day. Try to avoid feeding your child large portions and try not to make them finish everything on the plate and eat more than they want to.
