Thirdly, you have to set a good example for them to follow by altering your eating and exercise behaviors, it is very likely that your children will emulate whatever they see you doing.
One important thing to remember while helping your children stay fit and healthy is to do it in without their destroying their self-confidence and this can be done by having the entire family adopt healthy eating habits, thus removing the spotlight from that child.
A simple trick is to start simple by either having a daily walk, or doing a physical activity everyone can enjoy together like dancing, playing football, swimming, e.t.c and improving the family's eating habits little by little.
Help them adopt a healthy lifestyle when they are young, and they will never depart from it.
