With school being what it is in many parts of the US (my 9 y/o does in person 2 days a week), we made it a point in September to incorporate physical activity into my son's daily routine, since he's doesn't care at all for organized sports. While there are kids in the neighborhood he plays with, it seems that these days playing together involves a lot of standing around and lack of active playing. My son learned to ride his bike in March and by the time he did he had already outgrown a 20" model and I ended up getting a 24" road bike on his insistence (he was excited about cycling for about a week before that wore off lol).

Since early September, I've noticed my power go from 70ish watts to now nearly 100w average for our 60 min rides (we ride the same 0.25 mile loop around our neighborhood). Yesterday we averaged 13.2mph! It's fun to see the progress and hopefully it'll set a good foundation for him to maintain physical activity in his life. For me, it's a nice easy extra 300kj of work on top of my regular training lol Hoping to keep this up with zwifting over the winter. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't interested in knowing how he compares to other kids his age (at least as far as the competitive set goes), but we don't really have any aspirations besides just getting out for rides together on a nice day. Anyhow, anyone can feel free to share their own ways of keeping their kids active during these times.
