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.
