Your Child’s Physical Activity

Managing Your Child’s Physical Activity

Movement, play and fun are a natural part of childhood. For children living with kidney disease, physical activity is still important, but sometimes it needs to be adapted to suit their needs and energy levels. This course is here to help you understand what’s safe, what’s helpful, and how to make movement a positive part of your child’s routine.

Whether you’re caring for a toddler or a busy school-aged child, you’ll find strategies and support to help you feel more confident when encouraging healthy, active habits.

What You’ll Learn

In this course, you’ll explore:

  • Why physical activity matters for children with kidney disease
  • How to choose fun, safe activities that support their health and development
  • Tips for reducing screen time and building active routines at home
  • How to talk with schools, early learning centres, and other carers about your child’s needs
  • Where to find support and community programs
