Active Adults, Active Children

/

Being physically active on a regular basis is one of the most important things you can do for your health and your children's health!

There are many benefits to routine physical activity including:

  • Strengthen your bones and muscles
  • Weight control
  • Reduced risk of cardiovascular disease
  • Improved mental health and mood

You can encourage your child to be physically active by:

  • Being active yourself!  You help shape your child's attitudes and behaviors!
  • Make physical activity part of your family's daily routine.
  • Take your children to places, such as parks, where they can be active.  For a quick look at some of our local parks, go to http://www.aberdeenwa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2016ParkBrochure.pdf

Above all, be safe and have fun!
