36 SECTION H Nurturing Active Children Parents and caregivers can ensure the growing child has the best possible start to life by making a knowledgeable and loving commitment to active lifestyles for their children and themselves. The following suggestions can assist the educator to be actively involved and to make this commitment to children for daily active movement participation. Recommendations for Parents 1. Possess the active child image: From birth, babies are constantly learning to move and learning through their movement. Children will learn and grow as nature intended with parents holding a positive image of the moving and learning growing child. 2. Provide daily opportunities: Daily active movement experiences dispersed throughout the child’s day will provide optimum growing and learning development. Time is necessary to learn Active Movement skills. 3. Create playfulness: Take time to play and enjoy your child developing in Active Movement. 4. Create Active Movement traditions: Make Active Movement a tradition. Commit to and enjoy Active Movement as a family at least once a week, such as involvement in kapa haka, taking a walk – in the bush, along the beach, around the lake, at the river. Enjoy what Mother Earth has provided.
SECTION H 37 5. Use aids appropriately Limit the use of equipment that restricts a child’s natural ability to move and develop, for example, car seats are intended for the car and inappropriate use can limit a child’s opportunities for activities. Some aids may inhibit correct development of hips and legs, limit body rotation and have high accident rates. 6. Avoid inactivity: We know that many hours of TV/video watching, playing on computers and game consoles, limits the development of the brain/body system as well as providing opportunities for extra food snacking. Set time limits and be selective. 7. Be a positive role model: A young child’s appreciation of Active Movement begins with the parent. Find an activity that works for you – walking the dog, riding a bike, swimming, lifting weights, waka racing.
