Keep Your Kids Active!
Winter is such a wonderful season, especially when it snows. Building snowmen, sledding, snowball fights and skiing are a few of the fun things children and adults love to do. However, before long the cold seeps in and children start to want to hibernate in front of the television watching cartoons or playing video games all day.
I wanted to get my children into an activity during winter where they could expel their energy and get some exercise. I went to Layton city’s web site and pulled up youth sports. I found a wrestling program kindergarten through 9th grade and signed up my 3rd and 4th grade boys. I can’t believe how much they’ve enjoyed it! They had a lot of fun doing the warm ups, learning different moves and interacting with other children.
Children that stay active and get regular exercise tend to have higher self esteem, feel less stressed, keep a healthy weight and sleep better at night. These benefits also are proven to decrease the chance of getting sick! There are many different activities available for children during winter months, just go to your city’s web site and look for recreation and youth sports.
