Health is never going to go out of fashion.
The worst mistake you can make with children is to talk to them in a condescending, patronising way and think that you can teach them something. You have to understand that it is you who will be learning from them. You have to get into their world and see things from their perspective.
You should never do anything too much. If you only eat healthy food, that is too much. Success is balance – a banker with no time with his kids, he’s not successful. If he doesn’t have time to walk his kids to school, that is not success – that is a mistake.
If parents could just get their children moving around in the most simple and fun ways – jumping in leaves, dancing to pop music, throwing socks in a laundry basket – they could be sowing the seeds of great habits that could last a lifetime. It is all about turning it into a game.
There are lots of things I am not good at. I’m not that good a singer. And I’m a good dad but a lousy husband because I work far too much and am not at home as much as I would like.
My philosophy is ‘learn while you live.’ ‘LazyTown’ is about balance. I’m not there yet.
‘LazyTown’ is basically about motivation. So what do I call motivation? I call it ‘go.’ The show is going to inspire kids to go. Go fishing. Go dancing. Go live.
I’ve made a profit from everything I have done in life.
Mums ask me how to get their husbands off the couch as well as asking me to marry them. But kids ask me to get their mums and dads to play with them more as well.
‘LazyTown’ is on a mission to move the world to be a healthier place. When we get kids moving, we get their families moving. And when families move, we are one step closer to moving the world. Move the body, move the mind, every day.
Children up to the age of seven are like sponges. They look up to adults and copy what they do. So I thought if I could create a positive role model – a superhero, if you like – who moves around and has a balanced lifestyle – then they would be motivated to move more.
LazyTown’ is not a TV property, but a lifestyle brand for children.
At the weekends, I usually have around 50 kids running around in my back garden. They are all friends of my kids. I know all their names. We have barbecues, put up tents, and play soccer. I love it.
It’s a fact that kids watch TV. But if you think back, when you watched cowboy movies, you would go out and play cowboys. TV and movies motivate people.
I’m happiest when I’m moving.
