Raise Active Kids by Being Active Too
Kids copy what they see — move together as a family to build healthy habits that stick.
Children learn by example — and when you're active, they're more likely to be too. Your habits shape theirs.
How to encourage active kids:
Be active together — go for walks, ride bikes, or play games outside
Limit screen time and suggest outdoor play
Create space at home for movement, like a garden or park visits
Prioritise movement in your family routine
Encourage effort over results — help them enjoy moving their bodies
Activity doesn’t need to be structured or sporty. What matters is enjoying movement together, regularly.
