Happy Monday, Anthrilo mum! This one is about how your child will benefit
from joining a sport.
We all know that the answer to the question above is a resounding yes. This
little write up is only to tell you why. So here goes.
Health benefits make healthy children
Playing a sport at any level keeps the body fit. We’re talking overall benefits
like a healthy heart, keeping body weight in check, good skin and boosting
immunity. There is no alternative to physical exercise; and playing a sport is
one of the best ways to get a few hours in every other day.
Lifestyle benefits make energetic children
An issue that any mum today will identify with is excessive screen usage.
Playing a sport is a direct attack on laziness and sedentary lifestyles caused by
multiple screen options. Introducing the child to a sport and ensuring that they
leave the house is the first step to limiting screen time.
Mental health benefits make happy children
Healthy body, healthy mind. Exercise releases happy hormones and what’s
better than kids running around playing and laughing? Participation in a sport
improves self-esteem and boosts confidence in a child, which in turn helps
build mental strength.
Social benefits make well-adjusted children
Playing with other children, as a team, helps build social skills, instils the value
of team work, teaches a child about belonging to a unit and encourages
communication and cooperation. These are qualities that no extra class can
teach you!
Training benefits make strong children
Playing and competing with children teaches a child to adjust with others and
instils discipline in them at an early stage. Another very important lesson that
they learn is how to accept defeat. Participating in a sport also means being on
a level playing field with other children, which is an essential life lesson.
