Spring is around the corner and humans will be leaving their caves to enjoy the weather. This is the perfect time of year for families to work in their yards, ride bikes and explore the local parks together. The University of Minnesota researchers are reporting that families that are physically active together are less likely to have teenagers that smoke, drink, skip school, have sex early, or use drugs, compared to sedentary 7th to 12th graders who watch a lot of TV.
Joining your children in an activity of their choice not only makes everyone healthier but it also builds their self-esteem. Research stated any activity was helpful from dance class to any organized sport. Children who learn to be active at a young age are also more likely to stay with healthy habits as an adult.
Let's get moving and become more active then!!
Have fun together.
