Parents have been told that the 'best way' to make sure their little ones stay fit is to encourage them to try new activities, such as group sports.
Statesmanjournal.com revealed allowing a child to take part in activities that are appropriate for their age is the way to get them on their feet and active.
The news source said: "If a child learns that exercise is painful, boring and non-rewarding, they are likely to quit and have a bad association with physical activity."
Parents can choose from value for money activities, such as sports teams, dancing or swimming, according to their child's likes.
Caregivers may also want to become involved themselves and make after dinner walks a regular, and looked-forward-to, family event that allows them to connect with their kids.
In addition, tennis star Anna Keothavong told the Telegraph that schools should encourage children to try out different sports.
