Active kids are healthy kids.

What can I do now?

· Be a role model – be active when you’re with children.

· Include physical activity in family outings.

· Support active play, recreation and participation in sport.

· Encourage and support walking and cycling to school.

· Think of active alternatives when you hear “I’m bored”.

· Be prepared – have a box at home and in the car with balls, a frisbee or a kite etc, and you will be always ready for action.

· Encourage children to replace time spent surfing the net, watching TV and playing computer games with more active pursuits.

· Negotiate a limit on time spent surfing the net, watching TV and playing computer games.

· Work with your child’s school to increase physical activity opportunities.

· Work with Local Government to support walking, cycling and physical activity in you neighbourhood and community.

· Walk and talk – practice spelling, multiplication or other homework with your child while walking.

· Give gifts or toys that promote physical activity such as bats, balls, skipping ropes, skates or bikes.
