[quote=Anonymous]We talk about exercise as part of good mental health and living a balanced life. The same way we talk about eating healthy, getting enough sleep, getting rest, etc. Like I will tell my kids how doing a hard workout is how I reset when I'm feeling grumpy or irritable, and how working out regularly helps me sleep better and keeps me feeling positive. We also often propose physical activities for family time. We ride our bikes to the park or to a restaurant for lunch, go hiking when the weather is good, plan kayak trips. I've also taken family yoga classes with them. And we try to make sure they are doing at least one active activity at all times. Doesn't have to be a sport, could be after school yoga, dance class, rock climbing, etc. Something that forces them to get their bodies moving.[/quote]
