Parents can encourage active play in their children by creating an environment that makes physical activity fun and accessible. This can include providing outdoor space for games, engaging in family sports, and limiting screen time. Organizing playdates with active games and encouraging participation in community sports can also foster a love for physical play. Additionally, leading by example by being active themselves can motivate children to engage in physical activities. It’s also beneficial to keep activities varied so that children remain interested and excited about staying active.
