Hi everyone,
I'm a mom of a 2-year-old boy and I'm a bit worried about his physical activity level. He spends most of the day sitting or playing with his toys indoors. I want to encourage him to be more active and get him interested in outdoor activities.
I'm looking for some tips on how to make physical activity fun for toddlers so that he enjoys it and wants to do more of it. What are some activities that are appropriate for his age? How much physical activity should he be getting each day? And how can I make sure he stays safe while playing outside?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello!
I had the same concerns about my toddler's physical activity level when he was around two years old. During the day, he would spend most of his time watching television or playing with his toys indoors. I started to get worried that he wasn't getting enough exercise and fresh air.
A friend recommended that I enroll him in a toddler's gymnastics class, and it was the best thing I could have done. He absolutely loved it! The class was designed for his age group and was full of fun activities like jumping, stretching, and running.
We also made sure to get him outdoors regularly. We would take walks in the park, play catch in the backyard, and take trips to the beach to build sandcastles and run around. These activities gave him a chance to explore the world around him and to get some exercise.
Overall, I would say that making exercise fun and part of your daily routine is key to encouraging physical activity in toddlers. Find activities that your child enjoys and try to incorporate them into your daily routine whenever possible.
