Why Do Preschoolers Need to Play?
Preschoolers can be unstoppable — running, spinning, leaping, and climbing at every opportunity.
Their desire to move, move, move makes this a great time to encourage fitness habits that will last. Kids need to be fit for the same reasons adults do: to improve their health and make sure that their bodies can do what they need them to do. Regular exercise helps kids grow, builds strong muscles and bones, develops important motor skills, and boosts self-esteem.
