1) Put a limit to time for television, computer and video games. Get your kids away from focusing on television and video games. For instance, you can get the television out of the bedrooms or not having more than one of it. Video and computer games are never necessities for the kids' life.
2) Keep activities safe. You should make sure that your children have spent enough time on warming up and cooling down before and after doing organized sports. You also have to know where the appropriate safety equipment is. Remind your children to drink enough water and wear the suitable footwear. They will not get injured so easily if they are well-prepared.
3) Build a daily routine. You should find some time per day to do physical exercises. For example, you can wake up earlier to walk the dog or go to the park after school.
