For a lot of families, every day life moves so fast and it seems the larger the family the more on the go everyone is. When you have two parents that both work and children busy with school and extracurricular activities, there is a tendency to take things for granted. In our busy society, family fun time is not prioritized ahead of the rest of family life which can lead to parents missing out on precious moments and milestones with their children. Implementing family fun time does not have to be a lengthy or arduous task. Just knowing that Mom and Dad are making a point to spend time with the kids can often be all the assurance children need to feel part of a cohesive family unit. Parents can involve themselves in the development and growth of their children by adding family fun time during the weekends when the 'busies' are a little more scarce than they are during the busy work week. Physical activity can be one of the most fun activities as it causes instant bonding. Physical activity is good for both children and adults, and if children can get active at an early age, they will be much less prone to problems such as obesity. Cycling is a wonderful way to get the family involved in a group activity and every member of the family can participate regardless of their age. For children that are too young to ride a bike, get a seat or carrier installed on your own bike to give your child that connection and bond during family fun time, even if they are not physically able to do the activity. As children grow, use tricycles and then training wheels and then ultimately a two wheeler bike for the big kids to ensure everyone can participate in family fun time. I can think of very few things that have given me as much bliss as watching a child learn to cycle, and if the entire family can participate in this event, then that child will not only pick up a new skill, but some wonderful boosts on self-esteem and confidence as well. Whenever you and your family have the opportunity to spend time outside for your family fun times, you can and you should. Cycling is a wonderful way to do this and is something the whole family can enjoy. Even the babies and young children will be rewarded from this activity by being positively influenced by their parents on the merits of regular physical activity and regular time spent with the family. And bicycle excursions need not take place only when you are at home. Install a bike rack on your vehicle so that even when you are on vacation you can enjoy this wonderful activity together as a family. As your child grows older and when they become an adult, they will look back on these times and memories with fondness and the memories of cycling with the family will influence them positively in their lives. There could be few other things as rewarding for a parent as giving a child a great childhood and a great adult life. For a family activity get a weeride baby bike seat at http://weeride.com.au/.
