Anyway the show is about childhood obesity, one of the country's fastest-growing epidemics. Shaq has taken six very overweight children in hopes to help them become healthy and active. He seems to really care about this topic and about these kids! Way to go Shaq!!!
It's sad to Matt and I to see so many children starting out life already overweight. So much of it can be avoided with cutting out all the TV watching, video game playing, and constant eating. I do realize some weight issues are unavoidable. But getting kids up off the couch, playing outside, or just being active is something we can all do something about! Matt and I have always wanted active children. Thankfully, we don't have to try to motivate our kids too much yet. All three of them are all about running and playing outside. While they are young, we are trying to set a good foundation in them of wanting to be active and healthy. Someday they might not be so motivated, so hopefully what we've been doing while they were young will make a difference. Sometimes it can be tough to find a lot of activities to do all together with a 6 year old, 2 year old, and 1 1/2 year old. But the other day, we've just discovered a new one. All five of us went to the middle school's track and ran around. It was great. It gives Ana and Durant room to run without us having to worry about them and Carter a huge area to play football or kickball with Mom and Dad. But, first we had to have a family race.......
Carter and Matt are a little bit ahead....
