Children growing up should learn to participate in at least a sport. It could be tennis, hockey, football, squash, and so on. The good side of playing sports from a young age is really rewarding.
The child can take up a particular sport to help with cognitive skills, social skills, and most importantly exercising oneself. You ask yourself how does a child learn social skills from playing a sport. If a child is taught teamwork, fair play, communication, respect for others and so on it would develop the child into a very well-mannered adult. Communication is the most important aspect when developing social skills. Sports being an interactive activity requires children to learn how to talk. Respect for others means, respecting people's views and opinions so the child learns this when he or she grows up. Fair play simply means a child should learn how to behave on the field of play. By not teasing, arguing, or hitting one another. These skills if nurtured in the child helps in shaping up a very well-disciplined child. It is through sports that cognitive skills are developed. A child can even become smart, and attentive in class just by playing a sport. A child's mental health is really important. To be honest, if a child takes part in a sport from an early age, it can curtail the onset of future problems like muscle weakness, stunted growth, diabetes, heart issues, and so on.
From experience exercising helps to help children retain information studied and helps to eliminate depression, anxiety, and stress issues.
One of the most challenges children face are reading and writing issues, and numeracy issues. Just exercising can help a child develop these weaknesses and make them stronger. Sports brings people together regardless of their gender, nationality, or skin color, and it fosters unity. It is always interesting to talk to people from all over the world. Children should be taught from an early age that racism is a form of discrimination.
Nutrition is important for development. Junk food must be replaced with fruits, vegetables, water, and so on. Food is the most important aspect of a sportsman. What the child eats affects the way a child will perform both in school, or in any sporting activity, the child partakes. Also, sports can enable a child to stay away from drugs, and alcohol, and when this is taught to the child at an early age, things go well. Children should be taught that sports enables them to become good role models for the community they stay in, school, or even their peers.
