Clorox2 is a Proud Sponsor of Nickelodeon’s 8th Annual Worldwide Day of Play. World Wide Day of play is part of Nickelodeon’s The Big Help. The Big Help is a program that was created to empower kids and families to make healthier lifestyle choices every Day. On September 24, 2011, Nickelodeon and Clorox2 are encouraging Kids and their families to participate in the Worldwide Day of Play. Lets Turn off the TV and Video Games and play outside. Did you know that Physical Activitiy can improve your childs health, Self-esteem and the overall well being of your child?
When I was younger I constantly Played outside. Granted, it seemed like the neighborhoods were safer 20+ years go then they are now. But My parents didn’t let me sit inside and watch TV all day. And even when it was raining outside, I played inside. My son (who is 4 1/2) on the other hand, Seems to be glued to the TV. If he had his way, he would sit and watch it 24-7! And I will not have that.
We just moved into a New neighborhood… And There are a lot of children there. Most of them seem a little older than Lil C… But he doesn’t seem to mind. There is even a small playground that is within eye sight from my front door! It has been a little hetic with moving and unpacking… And I know I have let him slide a little ..If he wanted to watch TV while mommy moved things, then .. I was okay with it. But summer is ending – and I want to have him get the most of the fresh air as he can.
Running and playing outside helps kids out in more ways than you can imagine. Not only does it help their health – and help fight some child hood obesity – but Boy does the fresh Air tire the children out! 😀 Yes, you know what that means – early to bed for the lil guys! 😀
So how are you going to participate in the Worldwide Day of Play? I know lil C has a full day of school – and wont get out until 4… But I am thinking that going to the park for the afternoon is a great way to celebrate this day! We can run and jump and climb and crawl! I love jungle gyms – moneky bars and swings… Just as much as he does!
