Rather than playing outside my 2 yr old prefers to watch videos or play games on the computer. Do I need to encourage my toddler to exercise?
Yes, Children need to experience different types of physical activities throughout every day. Computers will be an important part of our children’s futures but research has shown that movement helps children develop thinking skills. Giving your child the opportunity to play in a physically active way will promote physical fitness and development of more complex motor skills.
