Kids can become idle or disengaged after a long day at school. Encourage your kids to go play outside. There’s something about the outdoors that begs children to move and play. Try having a plan for after school. Provide the time, safe spaces and equipment kids need. You can organize activities at a nearby school or in the neighbourhood. It doesn’t have to cost anything or be complicated. Simply having something planned can turn the after school period into an active time.
