Physical activities provide many important health benefits for children as well as the rest of the family. Regular exercise can make children feel good and build their confidence. Parents should encourage children to participate in physical activities that are safe and fun. There are many activities the whole family can take part in such as, swimming, bicycle riding, walking and team sports, such as football, netball and tennis. Another important thing you must do for the health of your child is ensure they have their immunizations.
Immunization is the use of a vaccine to protect against disease.
When a vaccine is given, the body produces substances called anti-bodies, which protect against future infections. Immunization helps your child's body develop a lasting resistance to serious infections and diseases. Remember children learn from their parents, if you regularly exercise and enjoy a healthy balanced diet they are likely to follow your example. Adopting healthy habits at an early age will help the child build these habits for the rest of their life.
