best place for kids bikes image
MommaDoo
We want to take our kids who have never camped somewhere family oriented. My husband and I both grew up tent camping.
Answer
We live in the Missouri Ozarks and have 5 children ages 9, 11, 12, and two 14 year olds. Our favorite place to take our family is Alley Springs campground on the Jacks Fork river. It is about 6 miles west of Eminence. It offers plenty of sites, some with electric, hot showers, flat level sites with paved roads for bike riding, and a good swimming hole. About 1/2 mile away is the Alley Springs Mill and spring with two hiking trails, one that goes around the spring area, and then a more difficult one that goes up to a lookout that is above the spring. It is a beautiful place. Hope this helps!

How to get kids in shape for x-country ski season?
Frankie
My kids are considering cross country ski races next year, but just getting into it this year. They are taking beginning lessons now at the course where the Junior Nationals will be held in spring, so they are excited about that. My daughter is almost 8 and son is 10. What sort of things should they do over summer? What sort of games and exercises would be helpful? How to make it more fun so they don't get burned out?
Answer
First, place restrictions on their use of phones, tv, computer and the like. This will direct their focus to more physical activities, and they will train themselves. I recently attended an athletic training seminar, and one of the topics was training pre-teen athletes. The general consensus seems to be- don't. These young athletes' bodies are still developing, and by directing them to a more active lifestyle, they will keep fit by simply doing what kids do best- running, jumping, skipping, climbing trees, riding their bikes, etc.
Diet and rest are also important. Make sure they have a healthy diet, and limit their intake of processed foods. Let their body clocks dictate sleep and rest periods, when a child is tired, let them rest.
