However, not only should your child eat well, it is also essential that they do well as well. Taking your child swimming or doing any sport of their choice once a week is a great way of ensuring that they stay healthy and fit but is also a gateway to making new friends. Around your area there should be a park where your child can play some football if they choose or even a leisure centre where they can take part in a variety of activities that are normally avaliable during the summer holidays.
