Kids are born to move. To move, they need you!
| Being active doesn't just help kids to be healthy; it's vital if they're to reach their potential - intellectually, mentally and socially.
Movement teaches children about their bodies - it helps them explore and discover new things. Movement helps a child's brain to make connections - it helps them develop language, memory and self esteem. Through movement children learn how to be with others. It teaches concentration and focus: kids who move do well at school - and in life too.
Kids are born to move. But to move they need support from their parents. To move, they need you. SPARC has put together some ideas to help you get your kids moving. To learn more about Push Play Parents and for some great ideas to help your children move, click here. |
