Every parent wants their child to grow up physically healthy. Today the child is fond of swimming, tomorrow - football, and after that he can switch his interest to rhythmic gymnastics. Playing sports is a good habit. To preserve it for life, you need to instill in your child a love of sports and do it right.
In our time, a decline in activity has been observed in children. More and more children are addicted to all kinds of computer devices, spend time at home in social networks and lead a passive lifestyle. This can lead to health problems such as poor posture, delayed formation of the body, disorders of the cardiovascular system. Children become more fat due to the lack of an active lifestyle. The child needs to release his energy. Sports activities are great for this purpose. How to interest a child in active recreation and instill a love of sports for life?
Mom, dad, I am a sports family. Cultivate sports in the family. The best and most effective way to tear a child away from their favorite sofa is through the personal example of their parents. Enjoy an active weekend with the whole family. Choose an activity you like. This can be family biking, rollerblading, or badminton during the warmer months. In winter, we focus on skis or skates. Going to the pool or jogging in a nearby park is a good idea any season. Mom and Dad are the best example for the child, people that the child looks up to and wants to be like. Infect him with your example. It is more fun and more interesting to achieve results together. A positive and supportive atmosphere is very important at the beginning of a new, important business.
Sports atmosphere at home. Sports should be accessible to the child at all times, at any time, in any weather. Create a sports area at home. A small sports complex with the necessary set of paraphernalia - a reinforced staircase, bench, rope, children's dumbbells, fitball. On joint walks, attract your child to sports grounds. Help your child pull up on a bar, climb a slide, or overcome an obstacle course in a stadium or playground. Offer to ride a scooter, jump rope, or throw a ball into the ring. Protect your child when doing difficult exercises. Where possible, encourage self-reliance. Scientist Glenn Doman, a specialist in early childhood development, has proven the relationship between physical activity and brain development. An active lifestyle contributes to the development of intelligence.
Sports preferences. The child is able to choose a sports section on his own. Not without the participation and help of parents. But he himself makes the final decision. The task of the parents is to acquaint the child with the variety of sports. It is likely that the child has a narrow understanding of sports, then it will be difficult for him to find something to his liking. Discuss the benefits of a sport.
After choosing a section, get to know the trainer, if possible, attend an open lesson, let the child choose clothes for training on his own. It should not only be suitable and comfortable. It is necessary that sportswear please the child. Then it will be an additional incentive for sports achievements.
Take a comprehensive approach. Do not limit your child to visiting only your sports section. Broaden your horizons. Give him knowledge about athletic opportunities and achievements in adult athletes, watch videos of competitions or go to the stadium where they take place. The child will receive information and a new, broader view of the sports sphere of life. This broadens the horizons and causes the desire for new successes.
Praise. Celebrate sporting successes and achievements. Even the smallest. Your praise is of invaluable importance and value to the little person. Tell me how proud you are of him, how strong and healthy he becomes.
Sports should be fun for the child. Only in this case, sports activities will be to your liking, the body will remain healthy, and the love for sports will remain for many years.
