Children's sports and children's health
Sports help children not only to be healthy and develop physically and mentally, but also to relate in a healthy way with other children. Being fit means being healthy. What's more, if you create in your child the habit of practicing sports from the beginning of his childhood, we may be saving ourselves some problems when he reaches adolescence.
Children should find and practice a sport that they like and are passionate about. The most important thing is that children are motivated to practice a certain sport; they should never be forced to do it. At the beginning it may be difficult to get into the rhythm, but if the child has the support, determination and security of the parents, everything will be fine.
For children, sport is, above all, play and fun. For parents, at the same time that they see their little ones enjoying themselves, they know that physical exercise, practiced regularly, prevents many diseases that manifest themselves in adulthood - such as obesity or osteoporosis - and helps to overcome others that the child may already suffer from - such as asthma.
Sport helps bone and muscle development and provides cardiovascular fitness, but it also has benefits far beyond the tangible. Exercise helps children become more self-confident, boosts their self-esteem and helps them relate better to others.
Through sports, countless values are transmitted, such as solidarity and companionship, and it is the most fun therapy that children can have.
