Children should exercise regularly - aerobic and anaerobically. Children have a high metabolism, but just because you're skinny doesn't mean you're not at-risk for heart disease or diabetes. Fat isn't just exterior, fat is also interior. Fat can grow around the heart and muscle organs, restricting blood flow and influencing ill behaviors.

Make sure your child gets 45-60 of playtime a day.
