It's important to know how to help your child grow up healthy by learning about good nutrition,
exercise, and a balanced diet.
The lifestyles of today’s youth have undergone enormous change. Television, computers and
video games have replaced many of the physical activities children once enjoyed. So when we
discuss our children, we often hear words like ‘obesity’, ‘heart disease’, ‘high blood pressure’ and
‘diabetes’. Fitness seems to have taken a backseat when it comes to the modern child. Our kids
are becoming victims of inactive, unmotivated, unhealthy lifestyles and their health is
deteriorating.
In working with children and pre-teens, one has to take a different approach to motivation and
encouragement. As adults we are more result-oriented, thinking about the weight we may want to
lose, for example, while working out. Children and teens, for better and for worse, live more in the
present. They want to avoid boring activities, and may not think so much about long term goals
as on the immediate rewards.
The one most important thing to remember is that all of us -- and children and pre-teens in
particular -- respond best to positive reinforcement. Every step taken in the direction of more
activity and exercise should be acknowledged and/or rewarded.

At Method Motivation we work with children to encourage healthy habits that will promote and
support a healthy lifestyle.
