What Are Your Kids Doing After School?

About:

Adults from a generation or two ago will remember the period from 3pm to 6pm (or until the street lights came on :) as a fun-filled, active adventure.  Things have changed a great deal and we need to get our kids moving after school.

A recent reports card from Active Healthy Kids Canada sheds some insight on the stats.  Fifty-nine per cent of the after-school time period is spent engaged in sedentary pursuits. And with only seven per cent of Canadian children and youth meeting the current guidelines of 60 minutes of heart-pumping physical activity per day, it’s not surprising that the Report Card grade for physical activity levels for children and youth remains an F. Indeed, that’s a grade we want to raise!

Check out some great structured and unstructured ideas in this group!
