SLEEP<\/h3>\n
14 to 17 hours (for those aged 0-3 months) or 12 to 16 hours (for those aged 4-11 months) of good-quality sleep, including naps.<\/p>\n
SIT<\/h3>\n
Not being restrained for more than 1 hour at a time (e.g., in a stroller or high chair). Screen time<\/a> is not recommended. When sedentary, engaging in pursuits such as reading and storytelling with a caregiver is encouraged.<\/p>\n

MOVE<\/h3>\n
At least 180 minutes spent in a variety of physical activities at any intensity, including energetic play, spread throughout the day—more is better.<\/p>\n
SLEEP<\/h3>\n
11 to 14 hours of good-quality sleep, including naps, with consistent bedtimes and wake-up times.<\/p>\n
SIT<\/h3>\n
Not being restrained for more than 1 hour at a time (e.g., in a stroller or high chair) or sitting for extended periods. For those younger than 2 years, sedentary screen time is not recommended. For those aged 2 years, sedentary screen time should be no more than 1 hour—less is better. When sedentary, engaging in pursuits such as reading and storytelling with a caregiver is encouraged.<\/p>\n

Move<\/h3>\n
At least 180 minutes spent in a variety of physical activities spread throughout the day, of which at least 60 minutes is energetic play—more is better.<\/p>\n
Sleep<\/h3>\n
10 to 13 hours of good-quality sleep, which may include a nap, with consistent bedtimes and wake-up times.<\/p>\n
Sit<\/h3>\n
Not being restrained for more than 1 hour at a time (e.g., in a stroller or car seat) or sitting for extended periods. Sedentary screen time should be no more than 1 hour—less is better. When sedentary, engaging in pursuits such as reading and storytelling with a caregiver is encouraged.<\/p>\n
Replacing time restrained or sedentary screen time with additional energetic play, and trading indoor for outdoor time, while preserving sufficient sleep, can provide greater health benefits.<\/p>\n

All types of movement matter, and a balance of moving, sleeping and sitting is required for best health. Even if a child is getting enough physical activity in a day, the health benefits can be reduced by too little sleep, or too much sedentary behaviour—especially if that time is spent in front of screens.<\/p>\n
Here are some tips:<\/p>\n
- \n
- For infants, supervised activities could include reaching, grasping and crawling.<\/li>\n
- The older children get, the more energetic play they need.<\/li>\n
- For toddlers, energetic play could include running, dancing and playing outside.<\/li>\n
- For preschoolers, energetic play could include hopping, swimming and bike riding.<\/li>\n
- For healthy sleep, young children should have a calming bedtime routine, go to bed and wake up the same time each day, and avoid screens before bed.<\/li>\n
- Establish screen time rules in line with the guidelines<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

What counts as “sedentary behaviour”? <\/h2>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#474747″ text_font_size=”20px” text_line_height=”30px” width=”100%” module_alignment=”center” custom_padding=”20px||||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”16px||||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”16px||||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” text_font_size_tablet=”18px” text_font_size_phone=”18px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” text_line_height_tablet=”30px” text_line_height_phone=”22px” text_line_height_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
Sedentary behaviours<\/a> are those that involve very little physical movement while children are awake, such as:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Sitting or reclining for prolonged periods in a stroller, high chair, or car seat<\/li>\n
- Sedentary screen time such as watching television or playing with non-active electronic devices including video games, tablets, computers or phones<\/li>\n
- Although not all sedentary behaviour is harmful—like reading or storytelling with a caregiver—excessive screen time before age five is, as it’s linked with language delays, reduced attention and lower school readiness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
