Promoting Lifelong Wellness

Physical Activity

Pre-schoolers need 60 minutes of structured movement and 60 minutes of unstructured movement every day. If your family is normally sedentary, try adding in a family walk after dinner. Explore ways to move like animals or make an indoor maze on a rainy day. Children will take their cues from their family. The best way to teach them to prepare for an active healthy life is to lead one yourself. Contact your family advocate for more ideas or visit the Lane County for Healthy Active Youth, (LCHAY) website.
