To help make daily physical activity the foundation of a child’s long and healthy life, the National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE) has developed a new parents brochure called Kids in Action with the Kellogg Company and the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports. NASPE/AAHPERD member Rae Pica, a member of the Active Start Task Force, served as a consultant. The booklet presents parents and caregivers with simple ideas for physical activities that they can do with children from birth to age five to adopt an active lifestyle early and positively impact their physical, intellectual and emotional development.

Kids in Action is based on the premise that children love to move. Playing actively with your children will give both of you pleasure. Small children need several hours of unstructured movement every day. They should never be inactive for more than 60 minutes. Toddlers need at least 30 minutes of structured activities, such as those presented in this booklet, and preschoolers need at least 60 minutes of structured activities.
