Hudson Valley/Catskill Regions

Summer is here again; kids are totally school-free for the next 2-3
months. It’s not uncommon that most kids will resort to TV all day
long. Their favorite shows that school made them miss must be covered
for. But the screen is not the friendliest way to keep your kids busy; in
fact, too much of the screen is injurious to their health.
Can I take them away from the screen? It’s not like I have anything else
I could make them do. Well, there are too many things you can get
them to do during this summer holidays that will be fun filled and as
well keep them busy and away from injurious activities. You can as well
join them in many of these activities to make it maximum fun, espe-
cially if you are less busy as well; there’s a level of confidence you give
to children when you join them with doing things. For the sake of this
article, we shall mention only ten of these activities.

The obesity epidemic in children over the last few
years has been alarming, and therefore parents are al-
ways advised to monitor their BMI (Height-to-Weight
ratio). The activities carried out by a child during the
developmental process go a long way in building up
in them, all they need for their adult lives. When most
adults are told to exercise, they think of working out
in the gym, treadmill running or weightlifting but for
kids, their daily physical playing and running around
makes up all they need for exercise. There are many
reasons why children should actively exercise from
their tender age, and they are as follows:
• A healthy body weight is maintained in them

through exercise.
• Exercise boosts a child’s self-esteem and

self-image.
• Exercise serves as an importance immune

system builder against some chronic diseases
like heart diseases, diabetes, obesity, etc.
• They sleep well after a long day of playing
around thus improving their general sleep
quality.
• With regular physical activity, their muscles,
bones, and joints are built and maintained
strong.
• It aids proper coordination of their internal
organs; their foods digests easily and their heart
pumps steadily.
