The Kids Aren't All Right
Summer is a great time to get them involved in community sports programs, swimming lessons and fitness camps that get them outside and moving, plus allow for social interaction. Try to get the whole family involved in fitness and move for at least half an hour a day. Limit TV and computer time, and plan and eat meals together. Just as you wouldn't reward meeting your own healthy goals with a food indulgence, don't reward your children with food, either. And a quick fix or crash diet won't work for you or your child. Make small changes and incorporate healthy habits that everyone can use long-term.
