EXERCISE
Parents need to serve as role models for children and to instill in them the fact that exercise, like healthy eating, should be a lifelong habit.
Before we can become a positive role model, we have to size up our own habits and see whether we’re doing a job that makes us proud. Perhaps we’ve slowed down on our exercise goals, or we’ve gotten careless about our snack habits. Let’s get back on track. As for our children, we have to be flexible. It may be that our daughter opts for dance class instead of joining us for Saturday morning tennis. The idea is to inspire our kids to find exercise that excites and interests them.
Call to Action: On this day, I will take five minutes to talk to my child about physical exercise, and to see if we might embark on an exercise regimen together or apart.
