May is our National Month for Physical Fitness & Sports
Each May the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition encourages Americans to #MoveinMay in celebration of National Physical Fitness & Sports Month. Did you know that 1 out of 5 preschool children is considered obese! Staying fit takes exercise AND healthy foods. Here is a list of great books to read to small children:
- Too Much Junk Food by Stan and Jan Berenstain
- Curious George Goes To the Hospital by Margaret Rey
- Dem Bones by Bob Barner
- Even More Parts by Ted Arnold (There are 3 of these books! This one! And the original "Parts" and "More Parts")
- Stretch by Doreen Cronin
On the weekends or after work, you can also get those little bodies moving and grooving by going for a neighborhood walk or playing outside games. Neighborhood races are a great way to meet new friends. If there is a park nearby your home, go there instead for a change of scenery! Anything other than sitting around watching YouTube will help teach kids the importance of staying physically active and healthy!
