Homeschool PE, Fitness and Sports

Homeschool P.E., Fitness & Sports at www.thecurriculumchoice.com

We all know physical fitness is important and plays a big role in overall health.  Childhood obesity rates are climbing as well as diseases that are directly linked to our sedentary society.

What can we do as homeschool parents to ensure that our children not only have a life-long love of learning, but a life-long love of good health?   I firmly believe that moderation is key.  We don’t have to give up our cars, our tv’s, and only serve lettuce and carrots for dinner!  We can teach and model for our children good eating habits {not perfect!}, and good exercise habits.

Here is a round-up of ideas from some of the writers at The Curriculum Choice.  See how we fit healthy eating and exercise into our homeschool days!

Healthy Mama series – this is encouragement for you, the homeschool mama. “Quite sporadically I have shared the blessings and successes of health and diet adjustments at Hodgepodge. You likely know about the allergy challenges we face with our children. But now that it’s been eight months of a diet change, I thought I’d share the triumphs in healthy living for me – the mama.”
