FitFluential Kids Round-Up: Tips, Recipes and More for Active Kids

Moms, dads, aunts, uncles, grandparents, babysitters: this round-up is for you. It’s all about the littles and how you can help the kids in your life stay active and healthy.

It takes energy and creativity to make healthy kids a priority.

As adults, we are faced with so many responsibilities each day that we inevitably become tired and worn out, and the tendency is to take the easy way out. Often times, easy can mean less than healthy. Food options and leisure time activities can become detrimental if they are not good choices. For example— constantly plopping the kids down in front of technology or grabbing quick and fast fried and sugary food in a drive through. I get it, I know how we run out of ideas and energy sometimes.  Moderation is key, as with everything. There’s going to be times when movies or video games come into play, and drive through meals can be a sometimes treat. Each family has to find the right ratio of what works for them.

A good goal is to work towards active play time and healthy snacks a majority of the time.

That’s why we put this post together for you. You’ll find some inspiration on active hobbies for the kids in your life as well as some great options for kid-friendly meals and snacks.  Thanks to the FitFluential Ambassadors for sharing these posts that help us work towards the goal of fit and healthy kids.
