]]> According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 74% of children aged 5-12 do not meet the recommended levels of physical activity.

Increased “screen time” and busier lives are two key reasons cited for the continuing decrease in children’s activity. The good news is that small changes can combat this! You can reach the recommended 60mins a day of activity via  small chunks throughout the day. Playing in the garden, riding to school, a trip to the park or walking to visit a friend all add up.

Children love to model the behaviour they see, which is why Ride to School day is such an important initiative. It gets children, and their parents, active together. Not only do active parents have more active children, it’s a great way to develop mutual interests and have some time to connect. Plus, parents healthier in the process!

]]> At Jungle Sports we want to give every superstar and their parents an introduction to a variety of sports and games. The purpose of this is to try and get your superstar active both during the sessions but also outside of these times. We want the parents to take specifics away so that they can interact with their superstar whenever they have a spare 10 minutes.

Unfortunately, Australia continues to rank very poorly for child sport participation. And very high for child obesity. For a country that has incredible weather and outdoor parks and ovals we want to try and give you the skills to go and enjoy these with your superstar.

The Better Health Channel in Victoria is working hard to educate parents and guardians to get their kids active. And we want to try and help spread the word. At the following link there are really simple guidelines on why it is beneficial to have active children that don’t sit in front of computers or an iPad all day long!
