Unfortunately cooler weather and limited sun light will be here sooner than we want. Now is a good time to think about combatting the inevitable winter boredom and frustration by planning ways to keep your child active in the months ahead. Here are a few of many ideas to keep in mind. 1. Join a pool if your family likes to swim. 2. Visit a gym or other indoor space that has areas where children can run around freely. 3. Sign up for fun activities that you and your child can do together. 4. Get warm, comfortable cold weather clothing that will make biking or scootering. throwing or kicking a ball or romping in snow possible. 5. Visit with friends regularly.
