Strong and healthy children are the dream of many parents. Unfortunately, in recent years, the number of babies with poor health and overweight has increased. This is due to the fact that instead of active games on the street, children spend a lot of time in front of the TV and playing computer games, leading a sedentary lifestyle. Therefore, it is very important to teach your child to play sports from an early age.
Instructions
Step 1
Start with yourself and be a positive example for your child. In a family where parents lead an active lifestyle, children are also healthy and physically developed. Get out with the whole family for walks, arrange trips to nature. Go cycling in summer and ski or ice skate in winter. It is necessary that constant movement and moderate physical activity become a familiar part of the baby's life.
Step 2
Keep track of how much time your child spends watching TV or sitting at the computer. Even a leisurely walk in the fresh air is better for children's health than passive watching cartoons.
Step 3
Think and decide what kind of sport your little one will do. The choice of direction depends on the age, general physical development of the child, his character and personal preferences. If the child has not expressed a specific desire, then first write him down in the pool, because many children love to splash in the water. There are practically no contraindications to swimming, with the rare exception of some diseases of the skin and mucous membranes. Swimming in the pool helps to strengthen the core muscles and harden the body.
Step 4
Sign up a brisk and overly active kid in the martial arts section. Such exercises teach concentration, help control aggression, and strengthen all muscle groups. Active group sports are also a good option. They will not only strengthen the health of the child, but also teach him to restrain unnecessary emotions and find a compromise. For girls, a dance club or rhythmic gymnastics classes would be an excellent option. Little princesses will be taught grace, plasticity and flexibility.
Step 5
Remember the main thing, playing sports should bring the baby joy and pleasure, only in this case they will have the maximum health benefits.
