Summer vacation is the perfect time to encourage children to be active both in mind and body. For kids new to exercise and sports, implementing a healthy routine of physical activity during summer break is a great way to get a jump-start on a healthier school year. For kids who participate in sports camps and daily sports practices during vacation, it’s important to keep that routine safe and injury-free by paying close attention to any aches and pains that might arise. Adam Bennett, MD, Family Medicine at NorthShore, will answer your questions on exercise safety and injury prevention and recovery for kids. What activities are safe for children and teenagers? How much is too much during practice? When do you keep your child off the field? Submit your questions early.
