Physical activity is important for all children, and chronically ill toddlers are no exception. Appropriate exercise can improve your child’s quality of life and even minimize some of the symptoms of chronic illness.[1] Work with your child’s healthcare provider and other professionals to establish an exercise routine that meets your toddler’s needs. Help your toddler do exercises as recommended by your pediatrician, and find ways to make the experience fun and rewarding for you and your child.
