Regular physical activity can help children build strong bones and muscles, as well as reduce and manage symptoms of anxiety and depression. Additionally, introducing the habit of physical fitness into a child’s life from a young age sets the tone for them to value the benefits of a lifestyle that is health-minded as time moves forward. Encouraging children to discover ways to move their bodies that supports both their health, and their preference is equally important. While some children may thrive on a soccer field, others may enjoy the way their body moves through ballet or simple outdoor activities.
