Physical activity plays an important role in a

child’s overall health. Physical activity helps with con-

trolling weight, reducing blood pressure, raising good

cholesterol levels, and reducing risk of developing dia-

betes and cancer. Physical activity can also improve

psychological well-being and having a higher self-

esteem. Children should get at least sixty minutes of

physical activity every day. This should include either

moderate-intensity activities such as brisk walking or a

vigorous-intensity activity such as running. Vigorous

intensity physical activity should take place at least

three days per week. In order to promote physical ac-

tivity in children, it should be increased by reducing

sedentary time such as watching television, playing

video games, or being on the phone. An easy way to get

children to exercise to get the family involved. Some

forms of exercise that parents can do with their chil-

dren are basketball, bicycling, ice skating, inline skat-

ing, soccer, swimming,

tennis, running, walk-

ing, and jogging. For

How is Physical Activity Related

to Your Child’s Health?

Is Your Child’s Screen Time

Effecting Their Health?

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics it

is important to limit your child’s screen time to no more

than two hours a day. Screen time should not replace

the time that your child should be reading, playing, and

problem-solving. Poor quality or too much screen time

have been linked to certain health issues such as obesi-

ty, irregular sleep, shorter sleep time, behavioral prob-

lems, loss of social skills, and violence.

Tips for Parents

Preview the programs, games, and apps that your

child uses.

Use parental controls and supervise.

Ask your child what they watched.

Play a video game or new app with your child.

Watch with child, discuss what they’re

watching.

Factors That Influence Your Child’s Health:
