                      Keep Those Tots Moving

                      Toddlers, just like adults, need to engage in physical activity every day to stay as healthy as possible.

                      The adventure of raising your baby kicked into high gear the moment he or she learned to walk. You may feel like your little tot will never stop moving, and you, by extension, may not get significant rest for years to come. This is a good thing!

                      Exercise is critically important throughout life, and toddlerhood is no exception. Your baby needs to stretch, strengthen and improve cardiovascular health in the same way you do. It's important to make sure he or she keeps moving.

                      Simply letting your toddler climb, jump, run and kick can help him or her develop coordination skills and build strength, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics.

                      Toddlers have a tendency to be very active, so take advantage of the abundance of energy. Encourage lots of movement by letting your child play on his or her own, but also remember to rein it in for a little while every day through guided physical activity, which will help your toddler cultivate a sense of structure. The Nemours Foundation recommends your toddler get at least 30 minutes of adult-led exercise and at least 60 minutes of free, non-structured play each day.

                      When your child is awake, make sure he or she moves every hour. A little bit of exercise can pay dividends in your toddler’s long-term development. By continuing to exercise as he or she grows, your child will be more likely to maintain a healthy weight, manage stress and sleep soundly. Regular exercise may also enhance self-esteem and academic performance.

                      To talk to a physician about your toddler’s needs, call Dr. Trishanna Sookdeo at (863) 419-2420 or visit our web site at HeartOfFloridaPhysicianGroup.com.
