The example we set goes well beyond what we “intentionally” do.
Our children watch, and learn from, us every second we spend together.
3 simple things to raise active children:
1️⃣ Get them (safely) involved in your training. Let them wander around and imitate what you do.
2️⃣ Don’t do things for them that they can do for themselves. Ask them to pick up something they dropped, or to bring you something you need.
3️⃣ Turn every activity into a “family activity”. They’re happiest when they feel like they belong.
Jamie loves me to go down the high slide with him, and to share a double swing. He also loves deadlifting our kettlebells, jumping on us when we do press-ups, planks or glute bridges, and trying to pull himself up from the pull-up bar.
We let him, because we’re not just creating memories: we’re shaping his mindset.
What’s your favourite activity to get your children involved? Let me know in the comments!
