Encouraging Healthy Active Kids

Today my daughter brought home her Pep Squad uniform and I immediately fell in love with it. I took photos but my daughter asked me not to post it yet so as not to break the element of surprise in their upcoming competition.

My daughter can only laugh at the admiration I showed when she presented me her uniform. It’s so cute! The truth is I admire my daughter’s perseverance even though she’s dead tired from training after school, she still manages to make sure that her academics will not suffer. I know how hard to balance the two but it’s one of my conditions if she really wants to stay with the varsity team.

In the same way I also appreciate her awareness of living an active lifestyle. She is not only conscious of her weight but more importantly she watches what she eats. Honestly, she’s the one who motivated me to go back to the gym once again. It’s a perfect example of how one person’s active lifestyle can inspire others to do the same.

As parents, it is importance that we encourage our children to be active or even engaging kids them sports. It brings a lot of benefits to children and they will have a greater chance of living a healthy active lifestyle when they grow up. Especially with all the unhealthy foods they are exposed to, obesity and other illnesses are just lurking around.

“An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure,” and I am a great believer of that. Although, a health insurance is a great security, it’s always better that we avoid using them for the treatment of our sickness. Keep in mind that our greatest wealth is our health.
