HOW TO KEEP YOUR KIDS MORE ACTIVE?

Leave a comment

Want to keep your little kids active?

A new study suggests that mothers may be the key: Preschool children with more active moms appear more likely to be active themselves.

The study appeared online on the March 24 issue of the journal – Pediatrics.

According to the researcher, parents seem to affect their kid’s physical activities in three ways

– by acting as role models,

– by helping kids be active (by taking them to the park, for instance),

and by being active with them.

Now you know the secret! Get moving.

By training, I am a American Board Certified Pediatrician. But in my younger years I grew up with natural alternatives. As a mom I have tried to incorporate both for my kids and it has worked wonders. And finally, as I am studying natural & alternative medicines, I realize the beauty and wisdom of living closer to earth. Hence in my practice I integrate both...for acute ailments I follow American Academy of Pediatrics recommendation but for simple and/or chronic conditions I prefer natural alternatives. In western training we were raised to think that "health is the absence of symptoms and problems". But eastern sensibilities has educated me that "Health is state that allows one to use the full capabilities of their body, mind and intellect. Therefore, healthy living is a balanced state of well being: physically, mentally, socially and spiritually." This implies that healing is not a "one-pill-fits-all", but a personalized experience.
