Research and studies show that our children are growing fater by the day. Many families all over America are struggling to keep the weight of their children within reasonable limits. As a parent, I know that it’s nearly impossible for me to look into the tear-filled eyes of my son and refuse food.

365 After-School Activities You Can Do With Your ChildSo, what’s the alternative? Studies show that the number one reason for obesity in children is not junk food and colas. It’s actually TV. Children tend to plop themselves on the sofa and munch away happily when they are in front of the TV sets. But, once the set is off, their natural buoyancy will lead the children to do stuff and to move their body. THey will then be diverted from eating.

Recreational after school activities are a must if you feel that your child is beginning to put on undesirable fat. It is better to begin these activities as early as possible. The more weight the child gains, the harder he has to work to shed it. Football, swimming, skating and Karate are just some activities he can participate in. Structured and disciplined exercise is possible only when one is put into a formal environment. That is why an overweight child simply HAS to be put into an after school program of this kind.

This is great. I have enrolled my child to a Martial Arts school. I can’t control how much they eat cause he have got big appetite. So getting him hooked to physical activities, such as sport is best for him. It’s never wrong to spoil your child but I suggest you get your kids active instead of them laying around playing video games or watching TV. Other thing is that be an example too, instead of just lying watching football, why not have time with them, play with them. Playing with kids, like tag, or twister, or skipping rope is a form of exercise too. That not only your kids benefit from it, but also you making yourself more healthier. Purchase yourself a home gym equipment, be active, workout inside home so that your kids will see what you are doing.

Everything we do is right in every child’s eyes! Avoid setting a bad example!
