Interestingly there has been some international activity on this topic, so I have a short "part three" for you.
The UK just released their physical activity guidelines on for children under 5.
These guidelines recommend that children under 5, who are walking, should be active at least 180 minutes (3 hours) spread throughout their day.
They also provided guidelines for children under 5 who are not walking. For this group the focus seems to be on infants, and floor play time and water based physical activities are encouraged.
So what about Canada?
Well according to CSEP, Canada will have its own guidelines most likely in Spring of 2012.
Though I suspect they will not be much different from what UK has provided. We shall see.
In the mean time, we know the little ones need physical activity... so lets get them moving :)
