Physical Activity (Exercise)
Regular physical activity increases lean body mass, muscle, and bone strength and promotes physical health. It fosters psychological well-being, can increase self-esteem and capacity for learning, and can help children and adolescents handle stress. Parents should emphasize physical activity, beginning early in a child’s life
