Encourages Good Habits
We’re all familiar with the problem of childhood obesity. From keeping healthy snacks around the home to encouraging more active play, parents are working hard to keep their kids healthy. Oftentimes, that can be tiring day in and day out as you take your child to playgrounds, sports practice, or playdates. Meanwhile, family time is often sedentary time with games and movies. However, by using family time to do a physical activity together you encourage your child to exercise. Furthermore, you’re building lifelong habits. Children often carry family-time traditions into their adulthood, one of which could be family exercise. As children connect movies and games to togetherness, they will also connect physical activity to fun and community.
It also helps ingrain in children what is normal and healthy habits to keep, such as making physical activity a priority. If they see parents make family time and exercise time a priority together, they’re more likely to do the same.
