[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am totally on board with social distancing and I know this is not important right now and many families are worried about having enough food during this time.  But it's an anonymous board and we all have our concerns, right?  My kids always hover at the top end of a healthy weight.  We manage it by staying in active sports and adding lots of fruits and veggies to our diets.  But the reality is that COVID means all our normal healthy habits are difficult.  We can take walks and ride bikes, but my kids are already over that (especially the walks) and during the week I need to work 40+ hours a week from home, so I can't supervise that much.  Fresh fruit is hard to keep in the house without extra trips to the store, which we of course aren't taking (we go 1x a week and get as much fresh stuff as we can).  I am even considering caving and getting a trampoline just to give them an easy way to get exercise.  I hope this falls under the "won't matter in a year" category of concerns, but I am stressed about keeping them healthy.  Anyone relate? [/quote]

Trampoline is a great idea.[/quote]
