Letâs admit it. In this day and age, itâs difficult to keep your kids out of their seats. With a new game being released left and right, they are tied and chained to this whole new virtual world.
No, itâs not all bad to go with technology once in a while. But, letâs not forget about the good âol times. We have to make sure that our kids will still be able to go out and play from time to time.
Finding it difficult to motivate your kids to come out and play? Hereâs what you need to learn:
âWhat Motivates Kids?
So there's a lot to gain from regular physical activity, but how do you encourage kids to do it? The three keys are:
- Choosing the right activities for a child's age:If you don't, the child may be bored or frustrated.
- Giving kids plenty of opportunity to be active:Kids need parents to make activity easy by providing equipment and taking them to playgrounds and other active spots.
- Keeping the focus on fun:Kids won't do something they don't enjoy.

Here's Some Age-Based Advice:
Preschoolers:Â Preschoolers need play and exercise that helps them continue to develop important motor skills â kicking or throwing a ball, playing tag or follow the leader, hopping on one foot, riding a trike or bike with training wheels, freeze dancing, or running obstacle courses.
Although some sports leagues may be open to kids as young as 4, organized and team sports are not recommended until they're a little older. Preschoolers can't understand complex rules and often lack the attention span, skills, and coordination needed to play sports. Instead of learning to play a sport, they should work on fundamental skills.
School-age:Â With school-age kids spending more time on sedentary pursuits like watching TV and playing computer games, the challenge for parents is to help them find physical activities they enjoy and feel successful doing. These can range from traditional sports like baseball and basketball to martial arts, biking, hiking, and playing outside.
As kids learn basic skills and simple rules in the early school-age years, there might only be a few athletic standouts. As kids get older, differences in ability and personality become more apparent. Commitment and interest level often go along with ability, which is why it's important to find an activity that's right for your child. Schedules start getting busy during these years, but don't forget to set aside some time for free play.
Teenagers:Â Teens have many choices when it comes to being active â from school sports to after-school interests, such as yoga or skateboarding. It's important to remember that physical activity must be planned and often has to be sandwiched between various responsibilities and commitments.
Do what you can to make it easy for your teen to exercise by providing transportation and the necessary gear or equipment (including workout clothes). In some cases, the right clothes and shoes might help a shy teen feel comfortable biking or going to the gym.â
