Try new activities this winter

Parents who are looking for holiday activities to keep the kids occupied over half-term have been offered some handy tips.
Larry Jones, director of the Independence Health Department in the US, told Examiner.net that at this time of year, when the weather is at its worst, it's important that the whole family don't get cabin fever!
To avoid this, Mr Jones recommended that the whole family try new activities that involve physical exertion to avoid the tiredness that comes with spending too much time indoors on the computer.
He said: "It is important to stay active in the winter. More time can be spent with your children doing things that you may not have the opportunity to do when it gets warmer."
Mr Jones recommended discussing possible value activities with children so that the whole family has a say in what they do.
In addition, actress Suzi Lorraine last year hinted that parents can help their kids beat obesity by taking part in activities with them. Ms Lorraine told Obesity Campaign UK that family life should include fitness activities.
