Your child loves to move. When you see her hopping and jumping, join in! Encourage your entire family to move together during everyday moments. Help everyone explore all the ways they can use their bodies to stay healthy and feel good. By adding more movement into your day, you will be developing an important habit for a healthy life:
- Take the stairs instead of the elevator.
- As you walk to the park, bus stop, or store, try skipping or jumping every few steps.
- Strrrrrrrretch! After sitting for a long time, reach up high to the ceiling. Now reach down to the floor.
- When you wake up in the morning, give each part of your body a little wiggle and get an energetic start to the day.
- At bedtime, talk about all the ways you’ve moved during the day, and name some fun, active things you’d like to do tomorrow. Get an energetic start to the day.
