Children should move as much as possible, preferably outdoors. Your child should play outside for at least 1 hour a day. Your child can do any physical activity they want, for example run, jump, climb or play ball. After sitting for 1 hour, your child should move around. Tell them to get up and play or walk a few steps. If your child spends time in front of a screen, make them move around afterwards.
Physical activity is important in many ways:
Tip: Physical activity should be a normal part of your family life. The more you move, the more your child will move. Go cycling, go on trips or go to the playground. This way, you can spend time together and get the family moving.
