Children's Health Warning
6% of children in Birmingham are ‘severely obese’, almost 2% higher than the national average.
The number of children meeting the recommended amount of physical activity for healthy development and to maintain a healthy weight, which is 60 minutes a day, drops by 40% as they move through primary school. A new survey from Public Health England (PHE) and Disney looking at the effects of physical activity on children’s emotional wellbeing, found:
being active made the majority of 5 to 11 year olds :-
feel happier (79%),
more confident (72%)
more sociable (74%),
according to their parents nearly all children said they liked being active (93%)
In short the simple way of keeping kids happy and healthy is to keep them active.

“YogaBugs has helped improve children’s concentration because they have learnt to focus and have been taught techniques to enable them to breathe and stay calm.”

“We’ve had YogaBugs for 3 years, year on year we have continued with the programme as it’s been so successful. Children are sitting better, listening better and they are working better as a team.”
