Sport is essential for the physical and intellectual development of a child. When choosing a section, parents are usually guided by their own taste and experience. However, in this matter, many factors should be taken into account, including the individual characteristics of your child.
Instructions
Step 1
Assess your baby objectively. A predisposition to a certain sport can be seen already at the age of 5-7 years. If you send the child to the section earlier, most likely you will have to act at random, and your task is to make the most of his natural data.
Step 2
An overweight child should not be sent to a sport that requires a lot of mobility and coordination, such as football. Hockey, swimming, judo, athletics are suitable for overweight children. A tall child will be gladly taken to volleyball and basketball, but in artistic gymnastics, tall stature is not welcome. For team sports, speed, agility, the ability to quickly make decisions and act as a team are important.
Step 3
If your child is in poor health, this does not mean that sports are contraindicated for him. You need to choose for him such a physical activity that will strengthen his health in general, without straining the vulnerable organ. If your child has weak blood vessels and problems with blood pressure, he should stay away from martial arts, but swimming and skiing can be done. With bronchial asthma, you need to abandon such sports where you need to run, but you can do water sports and wrestling. Remember that many famous athletes in childhood were sickly, but thanks to perseverance, they were able to defeat the disease and achieve high results.
Step 4
Consider when choosing a section and the temperament of your child. For mobile choleric people, playing sports, equestrianism, speed skating and sailing, Thai boxing, running, swimming, archery, rhythmic gymnastics, and windsurfing are well suited. Balanced sanguine people can achieve great results in sports related to danger and adventure, as well as long-distance running, water polo, volleyball, basketball, hockey, football, cricket, boxing, wrestling, skiing, equestrian sports.
Step 5
Enduring phlegmatic people are suitable for running, gymnastics on apparatus, horse riding, rowing, cycling, long-distance swimming, weightlifting, fencing, basketball, football. Phlegmatic people are very fond of taking part in friendly sports competitions. Melancholic people usually enjoy light exercises aimed at stretching and achieving balance. Yoga, rowing, ski jumping and pole jumping, tai chi, aerobics, qigong, rhythmic gymnastics, walking are ideal for such a child.
Step 6
Don't try to make your child an Olympic champion. Your main task is to raise a healthy, purposeful person, capable of setting a goal and achieving it. This is where sport should help you.
