2. 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.
