Mums and dads keen for their children to try new activities this year and in the future may want to review their parenting practices, as positive health behaviours and engaging in play with kids can increase levels of physical performance.
This is according to the Millennium Cohort Study, conducted by researchers at Swansea University and published by BioMed Central, which suggested that it could be important to spend time with youngsters and make room for playground visits in schedules.
"Findings show that income is an important factor in determining the pattern of child activity levels at age five," it was observed.
It recommended financial subsidisation of exercise and sport to help people with lower incomes participate in different activities.
This comes after professor dame Sally Davies, interim chief medical officer for England, said now is the perfect time to initiate small changes to lead healthier lifestyles, suggesting playing with kids in the park.
