It is recommended that children under 6 years of age be regularly active during the day and that older children and adolescents be physically active for at least 60 minutes each day.
4 ways to increase physical activity at home
1. Set a goal
Talk to your child about the benefits of physical activity and use the goal he or she wants to achieve. Achieving small and incremental goals leads to long-term healthy habits.
2. Be creative
To keep sports fun for children, diversity is a key condition. Ask your child which activity he likes the most and try to do the same physical activity to enjoy it.
3. Use online resources
Although watching TV and working with mobile phones is often a barrier to physical activity, it can be one of the best tools for finding a variety of physical activities at home.

If you want to get your child moving, the best way to do that is to set an example for yourself.
