ports are very important for improving the physical fitness of children. Sports are inextricably linked to the growth of every child. Both body and mind benefit when children play sports. Children learn to play tactfully while maintaining social interactions. Leadership qualities develop in children. Through sports, they can acquire various skills, including tolerance of rules and regulations. Children will learn to evaluate the opinions of others along with making behavioral changes. Sports, as well as studies, are very important to make your child a good citizen from childhood.
★ The age of sports.
Sports are important for children, but we also need to know how and where children play at what age. For example, according to a report by Dr. Laura Purcell. Children’s eyesight doesn’t mature until ages 6 to 7, which makes it difficult to track and consider the motion of moving objects, says the researcher, who works at the National Library of Medicine. From age 6 to 9, tracking is improved, but still limited. Children under the age of 6 should not be allowed to participate in organized sports. Because at that age it is difficult for them to track the motion of objects. Considering all these aspects we did not take our child to organized play before 7 years.
★ When the child is 9 years old.
When the child was under 9 years of age, he was prohibited from participating in organized play. He is now over 9 years old and has no problem participating in organized/team sports. Children are registered for games and taken to the field to participate in various events. Children continue to participate in events with joy
Child's opinion.
One thing to keep in mind is to make your child participate in whichever sport he likes the most. Do not force any sport on the child. If he plays one well, he can easily grasp other sports. For example, our child’s first choice is football. Then baseball, basketball. Cricket is his favorite game.
As football was first on his list of preferences, we practiced it beforehand when he started playing organized on the field. Then we noticed his quickness, technique, self-control, speed, discipline on the field, endurance, evaluated the opinions of others well.
