Today getting children into active lifestyle has become into a big challenge for many parents. Of course, there are some children who are just a fan of sports and always ready to do daily exercises what we cannot say about other kids.

So in this article, I’d like to highlight some practical tips you may take into consideration to provide your children’s overall health:

Practical tip # 1:

Find something interesting for your children.

The first and most important step to always keep your child active is to offer them something that they are interested in. Some kinds of sports can be a fun and at the same time great activity for them. For example, you may encourage your child to get into basketball, volleyball, soccer, bowling, softball, or kickball. Many children are interested in these kinds of sports.

But if you child is shy it may require you more patience to discover what he does like and would like to get involved in. For this purpose, try to pay attention to what sports his / her friends are doing. This can be the key to get your kid into certain activity. You may encourage him/her to join his/her friends and play team sports games like basketball, volleyball or soccer. Also you may ask his/her friends to get your kid with themselves to their sports club or other sports events they are involved in.

Practical tip # 2:

Do yoga with the family

Yoga is the best kind of sports for me, as it allows you to rejuvenate not only your body, but also the entire soul and brain. Especially train your child to combine physical jogging and meditations from their early ages. That will not only strength their body and soul, but also will improve memory and brain development. Besides, yoga is the best natural remedy against any stress and depression.

Especially if parents are doing yoga, little ones will likely want to join them too. They are getting interested when they watch you doing this or that pose. Jogging exercises are useful for both weight loss and body. Not to mention even its other health benefits such as calming and relaxation.

Do yoga in a special room isolated from all sounds, mentioned just for these exercises. Yoga will help your child improve their concentration as well.

Practical tip # 3:

Stay yourself active to show your kids how beneficial active lifestyle is!

Kids are learning best by example. So first try to show them how active you are every day and they will most likely repeat what you do! Kids like to imitate adults, particularly their parents. So if you sit around all the time, your children will more likely do the same. But if you are involved in entertaining physical activities with all family, how your kids can stay away from this fun? This will keep their life healthy and interesting. All children want to be at the centre of attention and thanks to such kind of family events they get what they want and need

Practical tip # 4:

Never pressure on your children.

In this way, they may not only get involved in any exercise, but even may hate any kind of sports. So try to encourage your kids without applying any force on them. Being a parent is an art and creative work indeed. The best parents are those who get their kids into any activity or event so that they really love and enjoy it.

Practical tip # 5:

Go for a walk with your children on a regular basis.

Such kind of pleasant exercises is beneficial both for parents and children. You will get rid of the daily routine and relax, when your kids will have a nice time, simultaneously working out their body. Besides, every parent should not forget that daily walking is vital for everyone, especially for kids to provide their organism with abundant oxygen.

Especially go for a walk just after the rain when the air is fresh and rich in ozone which is very beneficial for total health.

In one word, always keep your children active to maintain their health!
