English term or phrase: “wiggly” and “jiggly”

Once upon a time kids ran for enter tainment. Now they sit. Preschoolers are naturally “wiggly” and “jiggly” and spend a lot of time running and playing. You probably worr y more about your preschooler learning to sit still than you do about your child getting enough exercise. But the fact is many children are over weight because they do not get enough exercise. They sit around
watching television instead of running around outside. As with other good health habits, moving around and being active is one habit you can easily teach your child. Your own example of an active, fit lifestyle is the best way to teach your child to enjoy physical activity. Teach your child that an active lifestyle is not only healthy—it’s fun!
