Activities for children 'should be fun'

Many parents know that it's difficult to find holiday activities for kids that can pull them away from the computer.
Luckily, Sign On San Diego has offered some advice on how to make exercise more fun for little ones.
The news source said that value for money activities to keep kids fit must be fun and simple, as well as challenging, rewarding and brief.
"Adults can follow directions, they can problem solve on their own, they have a better concept of safety and a better perception of their body if it's hurting," Nancy Bresocnik, supervisor at Sharp Rees-Stealy Kearny Villa physical therapy clinic in the US, said.
However, she explained the opposite was true for children who should not be treated as small adults.
Ms Bresocnik said exercise plans for kids that have an element of weight training should just be used three times a week tops and light weights must be used.
In addition, she said that kids who want to try new activities, such as exercise, must be kept well-hydrated as little ones become dehydrated more than adults do.
Furthermore, professional dancer Ian Waite said that dancing can be good for boosting little ones' fitness levels.
