Why is eating, moving and sleeping well so important?
Eating a wide variety of healthy foods is important for your child’s wellbeing, growth and development. Eating together with your children is a good way to connect about their day.
Active play helps kids with coordination, balance, motor skills and using up their energy, which in turn helps to promote better sleeping habits.
Being active helps build strong muscles and bones, and contributes to brain development and learning. It’s also a great way to make new friends.
Sleep restores your child's energy and helps them to grow and develop. The right amount of sleep can help improve behaviour, learning, health, wellbeing and weight.
