Raise Active Kids by Being Active Too

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.
