Children are more likely to be active when their parents are active too. Your habits set the tone at home.

How to encourage active kids:

• Be active together: go for walks or play outside

• Limit screen time and encourage physical play

• Provide access to sports equipment or active spaces

• Lead by example — show that movement is part of everyday life

• Make activity a routine, not a chore

• Support a growth mindset — help kids enjoy learning new skills

Creating an environment that supports movement helps children build healthy habits for life.
