Parents Talk Q&A: Will You Follow the First Lady's Fancy Footwork?

Every week we invite parents to come give their opinion on a topic very important in their lives: their kids!

This week, First Lady Michelle Obama has been making news with the launch of a fitness program for military families, just one peice of her push to fight childhood obesity.

From the Huffington Post:

She said fighting the epidemic of childhood obesity has to be a family effort and "it doesn't take money," suggesting long walks after dinner or dancing in the living room.

"This isn't about physical prowess," she said. "It's about movement. And we have to go from sitting to standing to walking to moving."

And, of course, don't miss this great video of the First Lady's "dougie" (for the kids) and "running man" (for the kids at heart) at a Washington, D.C., middle school.

Beachwood Patch wants to know how you keep your kids in shape. Do you make activity a priority? Or do you think kids will move on their own, because they're kids? What about foods?
