with the onset of technology, computers, game consoles and virtual games has become accessible for kids. it is amazing that more and more kids are fast becoming technology savvy at very young ages. however, this era has also become an era of lifestyle diseases especially obesity.
as a parent how can we encourage our kids to be more active and live a healthy life despite all the technological advancements around us?
my little boy is now 3, he will be starting school soon and i am quite excited for this. me and my family encourages him to play actively outside the house with other kids even if they are older. he would run and play with his bike. the only luxury he have is the television. but he still is active while watching educational tv shows from disney.
it is understandable that kids his age is difficult to feed, so we continue with his milk to aid his physical activities and in building a healthy body. i am quite active myself, and soon i will introduce my son to running and other interesting sports such as soccer, sports biking, and swimming. i am hoping to raise a triathlete but i also hope that he will love sports and his body and contunue to live healthy.
