HOW MUCH PHYSICAL ACTIVITY DO OUR PRESCHOOLERS NEED?
Being physically active every day is important for the healthy growth and development of infants, toddlers and preschoolers.
The Department of Health has published National Physical Activity Recommendations for Children.
These recommendations are for all infants aged 0-5 years who have not yet started school, irrespective of cultural background, gender or ability.
It is recommended that:
Toddlers (1 to 2 years) should spend at least 180 minutes a day doing a variety of physical activities including energetic play such as running, jumping and twirling spread throughout the day.
Pre-schoolers (3 to 5 years) should spend at least 180 minutes a day in a variety of physical activities, of which 60 minutes is energetic play such as running, jumping and kicking and throwing, spread throughout the day.
