Have you been coping well with healthy week? The weekend is approaching! Why not get active as a family by heading outdoors and exercising together with your child?
With hectic weekdays spent at work and in school, why don't you and your child spend the weekends together exercising? Exercising helps to relax your body and mind. It is important for children to exercise frequently as it keeps them strong and healthy, and encourages them to lead a healthy lifestyle. By exercising as a family, it will promote family togetherness and strengthen your relationship with your child too.
What you need:
- Sports equipment, attire (depending on the exercise which your family is engaging)
- Water to hydrate yourselves
What to do:
Here are some activities to consider:
- Soccer
- Jogging
- Brisk walking
- Cycling
- Swimming

- Badminton
- Roller blading
Introduce the above-suggested activities to your child and decide together on an activity to engage in over the weekends.
OR
Introduce your favorite sports to your child and vice versa (if any) through a sharing session. Get involve together in the preferred sports over the weekends.
After engaging in the activity/sports, chat with your child and share your experiences with him or her and vice versa.
Have fun while staying healthy!
