Engage your child in fun, outdoor activities that will let them forget about video games and TV. One great choice is inline skating. However, keep in mind that you have to start a child on this once he is able to walk or run already with decent balance. Let him gain confidence first by seating him on a standard rolling chair as a balancing aid.

Eventually you can switch him to a roller skate shoe. Skate by your child’s side or behind him so he will recognize your motions and begin to imitate them. Let me stress though that beyond having fun is the need to always have children wear safety gear such as helmets, elbow and knee pads to prevent serious injuries in case of accidental falls.
