Move every day
Studies into children' health show that large numbers of young children spend 30 to 40 hours a week watching television, playing computer games or just being inactive.
What can parents and community do to change this?
Some ideas are:
1. Be a role model. Get outside and move!
2. Encourage activity.
3. Join child/parent playgroups.
4. Involve children in child-oriented activities.
5. Ensure team sports are fun for your child.
6. Provide short bursts of high-energy exercises.
7. Encourage a wide variety of activities.
8. Coach children's sports.
9. Set up a hiking club for young children.
