Active encouragement.
Encouraging your children to take part in a fun family activity can prevent major illnesses like heart disease, type 2 diabetes and cancer later in life. It can also help them to be happier and more confident, and can help them control their weight and even sleep better at night. Just 60 minutes is all it takes, and anything counts, from carrying home the shopping to dancing around the front room. What’s more you can break the activities down into easy, manageable chunks.
Anything goes. Your kids probably already do lots of things that already count. So just encouraging them to do more should be easy. And making a few small changes to your daily routine can make a really big difference.
