Explain why physical activity is so important for children in early childhood education environments

What will be an ideal response?


Physical activity and exercise are preventative measures and should be used as a component of the diet. Today children are more involved in sedentary activities, and the teacher who encourages exercise as a part of the daily program helps to provide a broad base for good nutrition, especially in reducing the risk for obesity. Encouraging physical activity helps to ensure the protection of good health and well-being.
