Everyone knows about the benefits of sports, so most parents try to enroll their children in sports clubs as early as possible. The question of choosing a sports direction may seem easy only at first glance. It is very important to ponder this topic with a high degree of responsibility.
Instructions
Step 1
Before dreaming about your child becoming an Olympic champion or master of sports, think about the process of achieving such goals. Sports, if you do it seriously, will take up almost all the child's free time. Immediately you need to prepare for the fact that you and your baby will have long training sessions, numerous physical exercises and constant sports loads. The path to success in this case is by no means easy. In addition, injuries, bruises and bruises are constant companions of training.
Step 2
Talk to your child. You should not impose your dreams or desires on your baby. If a child is indifferent to sports, then it will not work to make him fall in love with training. The effect can not only be the opposite of your expectations, but also ruin the relationship with your own child. Show a little trick. If, for example, your daughter wants to play football, and you see her as an elegant figure skater, try to show all the delights of the chosen sport. Beautiful outfits, makeup, bright colors - all this will interest any girl. If the child does not give in to persuasion, do not overdo it with beliefs. This means that your child has his own dream and he is confident in it.
Step 3
Do not try to choose sports clubs on the basis of "close to home" or "convenient to pick up from work." Try to find out the maximum amount of information about clubs and circles that are in your city. Examine printed publications with advertisements, browse information on the Internet. Be sure to ask the child's opinion.
Step 4
Immediately assess your material capabilities. A situation may turn out when sports will become the meaning of life for a child, and you will not have the opportunity to finance this hobby. Dance outfits, good athletic uniforms and equipment cost a lot of money. Study this information in advance.
Step 5
Don't forget about the basic medical examination. Be sure to go through the commission to identify possible diseases. Do not immediately choose difficult and traumatic sports. Success will require not only good physical condition and health, but also minimal athletic training. In addition, the child should be carried away by sports, and not forced to fulfill your desires.
Step 6
Respect the child's opinion. If the kid refused to go to training, be sure to find out the reason and try to find a compromise. If the child does not like the chosen direction, try your hand at other sports. In no case should you scold a baby. Just advise him to think more carefully about his decisions.
