I am a father first. Nothing is more important to me than my kids and what I have instilled in them to prepare them for this world. It hurts me that the time I was able to spend with my sons growing up was not the same with my daughters. I love them dearly: Kali Kaylah Marie Glasper, Nevaeh Olivia Glasper, and Daijah. I would like to also dedicate Active Kids Have the Most Fun to my boys. They are my best friends, the best part of me, and the best group of guys I know. They each are exactly like a part of me and daily I enjoy watching them grow into a much better me. I do my best to put the time lost with my father into them. No matter what happens, I do not want them to ever say I was not around. You can make all the money in the world and pay for them to do everything they love, but if you are not there to witness them doing it, then you are simply not there and that is all they will remember. But as parents, we are the writers of our kids’ memories, wants, beliefs, and interests. I am the son of a ninja, but a soldier raised me.

Children's Active Transportation is a rigorous and comprehensive examination of the current research and interventions on active transportation for children and youth. As the travel behaviors of these groups tend to be highly routinized, and their mobility faces unique constraints, such as parental restrictions, mandatory school attendance, and the inability to drive a motor vehicle before late adolescence, this book examines the key factors that influence travel behavior among children and youth, providing key insights into lessons learned from current interventions. Readers will find a resource that clearly demonstrates how critical it is for children to develop strong, active transportation habits that carry into adulthood.
