Mom tips:  A few ideas for you to give your children a chance to begin exercising at an early age.  This will teach them great habits for exercise and help them fit in socially later in life.  Besides, a few minutes of working out or playing will make them settle down and study harder.

• Get them out of the stroller once in a while.  They need to walk and run (chasing them around will also give you a great workout).
• Let them watch you work out.  There is nothing like being a good example if you want your child to do something.
• Get them involved in sports teams at an early age.
• Take them with you to the track as you walk or run.
• Get a Skuut for your 3-year-old.  It will teach them to ride a bike at an early age, and they can ride alongside of you during a walk, without falling (even while pushing a younger one in a stroller).
• Get a jogging stroller, like a Bob.  Your kids will love the scenery as you walk and run.
• Take them to the weight room with you.  They will learn not to be intimidated by the weight room at an early age.
• Take them to the swimming pool.  They will sleep very well after a good swim.
• Turn off the TV and shove them outside.

Try some of these tactics before taking your child to the doctor for an ADHD prescription.  Give them a chance.
