Getting your child to exercise is without a doubt one of the most important steps you can take to ensure your child's present and future bone health. Unfortunately, today's children don't have all the opportunities to play and exercise that their parents had.

Take action:
Be aware of your child's weight and physical activity levels – check what your child does in the afternoons and intervene if he/she does nothing but sit in front of the computer or TV; find out what physical activity is offered at your local school – if there are no sport facilities or if no attempt is made to ensure that your child does something active every day, get proactive and help teachers to organise some type of exercise; find a safe place where your kids can play and encourage them to play with their friends; if you can afford it, let your child join a gym or a sports club.
