YMCA: Tuesday #gno Twitter Party
#gno information! • #gno featured
Raising healthy kids is a sizeable task and it can be quite difficult in this 24/7 world to keep them active and healthy. As summer approaches, a time when many kids and teens lose their daily structure of lessons and physical activity, it’s even more difficult to build a foundation for learning and physical activity that will last through the summer. How do you motivate your kids to be healthy?
With Spring arriving and summer right around the corner, it is the perfect time to re-commit to keeping kids mentally and physically active while school is out. Did you know that kids gain weight two to three times faster during summer vacation than during the school year?
On Saturday, April 26, the YMCA will celebrate YMCA’s Healthy Kids Day®, the Y’s national initiative to improve the health and well-being of families. Millions of children and their families are expected to participate across the country at nearly 1,600 events.
Here are our tips for a healthy mind & body this summer:
- Keep healthy, easy-to-grab snacks around. Things like carrots, sliced apples, and healthy assortment of nuts
- Limit time spent on electronics
- Get the entire family involved and schedule outdoor activities such a hiking, biking, or simply kicking a ball in the back yard
