How To Keep Kids Physically Active In The Wintertime

It finally feels like winter here on Long Island. Now that the cold was swept in, your child may spend less and less time in the great outdoors. This could also make your child lead a more sedentary lifestyle. Below are some tips that will help your child stay physically active this season. 

Interactive Video Games

Traditional video games do not promote exercise. However, that is not the case today! Interactive video games can get your kids moving or grooving. Children can virtually play sports like tennis or baseball from the comfort of home. Other video games teach kids how to dance and bust a move!

Indoor Playgrounds

On a cold winter's day, going to a playground in your town is simply not an option. That's why there are indoor playgrounds. It gives your child the chance to run around, play, climb and explore. Do some research on indoor playgrounds in your area. The local mall might provide a small indoor obstacle course.

Indoor Sports

It is important to keep in mind that not all sports are played outdoors. There are plenty of sports that can be played inside. Try your hand at indoor roller skating! 

We hope that the tips above help your child stay physically active this season.

How To Protect Your Child From The Sun

When the weather is nice, many Long Islanders head to the beach. Whenever you are spending time outdoors, it is important to be mindful that the sun is always shining on you. Below are some tips to keep your child protected from the sun.

Wear Sunscreen
Wearing sunscreen is a must. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, it is best to put a broad spectrum sunscreen on your child. Remember to reapply it every 30 minutes.

Find a Shady Spot
If your child has very sensitive skin, it is always a good idea to seek shade whenever possible. Wearing a hat or spending time under a beach umbrella will protect your child from the sun.

See the World through Sunglasses
Don't forget about protecting their eyes! The American Optometric Association suggests wearing sunglasses that block out UVA and UVB radiation. 

We hope that tips above help your child stay safe while having fun in the sun. Once the summer is over, your child may be eligible for nursery school.
