Children's Activity Pyramid

Five Tips from Gwenn Schurgin O’Keeffe, MD, FAAP
Keeping Kids Moving!

From the tip to the base, here is the “Children’s Activity Pyramid”:

• Reduce time spent with TV and video/computer games; don’t sit for 30 minutes or more at a time
• Two to three times a week, engage in playtime and fun activities like dancing, martial arts, swimming, and tumbling
• Three to five times a week, engage in real aerobic activities, from biking to soccer to old-fashioned games like tag and hide-and-seek (20 minutes or more is the goal for these activities.)
• Everyday, as much as possible, play outside, use the stairs, help around the house and in the yard, pick up toys, walk, etc.
• Have fun!
