from The First Seven Years

Fitness expert Brent Bishop shares one of the most practical and immediately usable insights for parents of resistant kids: movement has to be interest-driven. And if your child won't leave the screen, the answer isn't to fight the screen, it's to bring what's on the screen into the real world.From mom-and-baby fitness programs that build bonding and modeling from day one, to cardboard workout cards made with a 5-year-old, to backyard obstacle courses inspired by your kid's favourite character. Brent breaks down how creative, play-based movement in the early years builds the motor skills, core strength, and active habits that last a lifetime.90% of fitness is mental. That applies to your kids, too. This episode gives you the tools to work with their mind, not against it.LIKE this video if you're going to try this with your kids COMMENT with your child's favourite character or game SUBSCRIBE for more expert parenting and health insightsFollow Brent Bishop / Think Fitness: Website:https://iambishop.com/ https://www.thinkfitnessstudios.com/ Instagram: @iambishop / @ThinkfitnesstorontoFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thinkfitnessstudios YouTube: @BishopThinksFitnessFollow Dr. Murray: Website: http://www.drmurrayclarke.com/Follow Bryce Wylde: Main Site: https://wyldeonhealth.com Instagram: /wyldeonhealth Facebook: /wyldeonhealth YouTube: /@wyldeabouthealthThank You To Our Show Sponsors: Trusted guidance for every stage of parenting – https://www.askdrsears.com/ Know your Omega-3 levels and take control of your health – https://omegaquant.com/DISCLAIMER: The information provided in The First Seven Years is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as a substitute for advice from your pediatrician or other healthcare professional.
