Child Care Brooklyn - Keeping Your Child Active at Home - Hanover ...

Last updated 9 hours ago

Daycare programs provide a safe and fulfilling environment where children can learn a number of important lessons. With the right encouragement, learning can continue once a child returns home. There are a number of ways that you can teach children important lessons at home, like staying active. Read through the following tips to learn how you keep your child active at home:

• Play games as a family. One of the best ways to teach children healthy habits is to include the entire family in the lesson. You can start a family game night where you leave the board games behind and choose active ones instead. If you have a backyard, put together a ?field? or ?court? where your family can play fun sports, such as basketball, soccer, and kickball. If you do not have room for these activities, head over to your local park.

• Choose active video games. Children of all ages tend to enjoy playing video games, but parents often fear that these activities may promote unhealthy habits. Luckily, today?s video games offer opportunities for physical activity and learning in addition to entertainment. There are a number of new consoles on the market which offer fun and exciting games that can keep children active while in front of the screen. You can find video games that encourage children to dance, play sports, or complete other physical activities in order to win.

• Encourage physical activity during play dates. You can also encourage your child to be active when he or she has friends over for play dates. Provide equipment that children enjoy playing actively with, such as jump ropes, hula hoops, and soccer balls.
