Helping Your Child be More Active | Carl Abery

This week, guest Carl Abery discusses ways you can help your child build healthier habits and become more active.

Carl is a personal trainer and fitness professional working with individuals of all ages. As a child, he was fostered and is now passionate about working with young people leaving the care system to help them create healthier habits and learn stronger coping mechanisms.

In a break with tradition, Carl has recommended a poem rather than a book to read. He’s chosen If by Rudyard Kipling for its inspiring message about overcoming adversity.

Carl shares three tips during the episode:

1: Find an exercise your child enjoys - don’t try to force them to play a sport you played as a child.

2: Encourage them to keep trying, even when it is tough for both you and them.

3: Encourage your child to make healthy food choices and have a balanced diet.

The My Family Coach podcasts covers every aspect of children’s behaviour, all in handy 15 minute (ish) bite-sized chunks. Each episode features a new guest chatting about a different aspect of behaviour and leaves you with three handy tips to use at home
