What Does Your Kid Do For Fun?

What does your child do for fun? Does she get outside and play soccer, ride her bike, or run around with her friends. Studies abound about the positive health benefits of exercise for both adults and kids, so what can you do?

Summer is coming and in my hometown parents are asking each other what sports their kids will be involved in. I don't have an answer for that yet...the parks and rec catalogue hasn't come out yet, and I am not so sure that we need any structured programs to keep us busy and active this summer.

Remember the days when kick the can and tag were favorites? They still can be!
Check out this article for more ideas and have a great time today with your kids. Grab some chalk, head to the sidewalk for a game of hopscotch, or grab a ball and start kicking it around. Turn off the TV and put up the video games and get moving!

To your and your kids!
