In order to make sure that your child make the most of their Physical Education experience I recommend the following:
As in all else, we are models for our children, even when we think they are not paying attention! So...
As much as possible offer your child opportunities to walk, go for a hike, bike ride or some other outdoor, family oriented activity.
Engage your child when planning and creating meals!
Ask your child what their experience was in Physical Education class today. What unit are we studying, skills we are working on etc. Then take 10- 15 minutes and go and extend and enrich their PE experience!
Ask your child thought provoking, health oriented questions relating to something you may have read in the newspaper or have seen or heard about on radio or T.V.
