Most young kids love to move
around, so how do you turn that natural tendency
into a lifelong commitment to activity? Parents
first need to know which skills children have now
and which ones they’re still working on. For
instance, your child might be too young to
understand the rules of soccer, but could be the
perfect age to enjoy kicking a ball around the
backyard. Knowing this, you help make physical
activity fun, not frustrating. And because you’re
out there in the backyard, too, you send the
message that activity is something your family
enjoys together. The articles below have some
great tips on raising an active kid.
