[PDF] Encouraging Physical Activity in Preschoolers (Moving Matters) Steve Sanders

Gold winner of the Mom’s Choice Award.

Preschoolers are constantly using their bodies to play and learn, whether or not activity is encouraged. Teachers and parents can help them stay active as they grow by providing instruction in physical skills, motivating them to develop strength and fluid movements, and challenging them to improve their skill levels. Motivated by the knowledge and experience caregivers provide, the preschoolers can grow strong bodies, enjoy physical activity, and move with assurance toward a healthy lifestyle.
