This article will talk about how to lay in a child the habit of doing physical exercises and what sports equipment is best for this.

Of course, all parents want their children to grow up strong and healthy, for this it is necessary to accustom them to proper nutrition and physical education.

1. Preschoolers, as a rule, are always very mobile due to active games, but this does not give a reason to exclude morning exercises for them. In order to interest the baby in physical exercises, it is worth translating this process into a game.

For example, ask a child to show how a bunny jumps, how a cat arches its back, suggest collecting virtual mushrooms without bending your knees, etc. Such exercises it is recommended to do no more than 10-15 minutes daily.

Parents should take into account that Charging is necessary for babies not only in the morning, but also during the day , for example, after drawing or sculpting.

Joint physical education and sports are great benefits, children can do short runs, ski, skate, bike, hike, swim in pools and ponds, play badminton, etc. Also, an ideal option would be to visit sports centers together with children, where you can have a great time, relax and have fun for the benefit of the whole family.

3. Ideal to promote the child's interest in physical education would be home-equipped sports area.

The arrangement of such a corner will not be difficult for parents, part of the sports equipment can be bought at the store, part of it can be done by hand. In the corner, it is desirable to have a horizontal bar, a Swedish wall, ball rings, you also need to get a rope, a hoop, dumbbells for children and special rugs. As the child grows older and his physical activity increases, the collection of sports equipment needs to be replenished.

Get your child interested in cycling it is possible from an early age, starting with an ordinary bicycle stroller, as he grows up, this type of children's transport should be updated, first with a tricycle, then with a two-wheeler, the same can be said about a scooter.

Very useful and interesting for the child roller skating, but you should not buy them for children under the age of five, and learning to ride them should be started on simplified versions.

4. When registration of the child in the sports section parents first of all need to take into account the desire of the child himself, his interest in a particular sport.

Do not worry if the child from the first time does not decide on the section of interest to him, but will repeatedly sort through them, this is quite acceptable, in order to find the ideal option, just do not convince the child if he prefers ballroom dancing, he must make his choice do it yourself.

How to get your child interested in sports at home

Prepared by: Polezhaka I.V.

December 2016

All parents want their child to grow up healthy, strong and strong, but they often forget that good physical data is primarily due to the physical activity of the child, that in addition to achieving a certain height and weight, he must be dexterous, mobile and hardy.
Whether we like it or not, but the increasing demands on the depth and quality of knowledge of each person, the decrease in movements and the associated violation of the natural way of life will naturally affect our children. The better health and good physical data we equip our children in infancy, the better they will later adapt to new social conditions. Taking care of the formation of the child's motor skills, of achieving the required level of dexterity, speed, strength and other qualities is the primary task of the mother and father even before the child enters school.
Physical education is an integral part of the intellectual, moral and aesthetic education of the child. Blaming the child for absent-mindedness, disorder and disobedience, we demand that during the lessons we repeat the exercise until the child succeeds in performing it correctly. Parents should communicate with the child as if in the form of a game, while always taking into account the age of the child, his capabilities. During classes, mainly those exercises are valued that the child performs with joy, without pressure from adults, unaware that he obeys their desires. A gentle, consistent manner in dealing with a child requires great patience and self-control from parents. Quarrels and disputes should not arise that could turn the child away from studies and thereby deprive him of the beneficial effects of physical education.

When to start exercising.

Begin to engage with the child from the very first days of his life. Take care of the delicate tissues of the baby, armed with thorough knowledge, detailed in the special literature. The main period of occupation of parents with children is the age from 2 to 6 years. But even after 6 years, you should not stop studying in the family, although at this age there are other opportunities for the physical development of the child - at school, in the sports section, where the child is engaged under the guidance of a specialist, monitor his condition, mood.

How much to do.

The opportunity to include in the daily routine joint activities of one of the parents with the child almost always exists. It is necessary to give the child at least a few minutes every day. Try to figure out the best times of the day for your family's routine and then stick to it. First of all, the principle of systematicity should be observed, so that the child gradually gets used to the classes, so that they become a daily need for him.
The duration of parent-child activities varies. It depends on the age of the child, on the availability of free time for parents, on the time of day, and also on what the child does before or after classes (if the child is tired after a long walk or the walk is still ahead, the duration of the classes will be less than after rest ).
Morning exercises have the advantage that immediately after sleep, the muscles of the body “warm up”, blood circulation in the tissues improves. While charging, it is better to use easy and already familiar exercises, since there is usually not enough time and patience to learn new, more complex exercises. The duration of the morning classes is no more than 10 minutes.
Before lunch, be sure to give your child the opportunity to take a walk, ride a children's scooter or bicycle, play in the sandbox, with toys, especially in the fresh air. If you have time, you can spend a 15-20-minute more intense lesson during these hours, including exercises for large muscle groups.
After dinner, rest is needed; a preschool child should sleep or at least lie quietly for at least 2 hours. After sleep, short invigorating exercises and longer ones, if possible in the open air, are useful.
Classes in the afternoon should give the child more time to master a variety of movements with objects (toys, bicycles, scooters) and to exercise on various equipment (gymnastic walls, swings, slides), preferably in the company of peers. At the same time, it is convenient to have a longer physical education session with one of the parents (about 20 minutes).
Exercising before dinner is the most common form of joint activities, as parents are usually at home and at least one of them can take care of the child. During this period, there is time for learning acrobatic exercises, playing games and improving the results achieved. The duration of classes with children under 6 years old is 20 - 30 minutes, with six-year-olds - up to 45 minutes.
After dinner, physical education with children is not recommended: intense motor activity after eating is harmful (this applies to any time of the day), and besides, after exercise, children find it difficult to fall asleep.
Be sure to use every opportunity to move with the child in the fresh air. Most often it is presented on weekends.

How to get your child interested in physical education.

A healthy child does not need to be forced to do physical education - he himself needs to move and willingly performs more and more new tasks. In no case should you force the child to perform a particular movement or turn the lesson into a boring lesson. Preschoolers do not yet feel the need to learn in the literal sense of the word. In this regard, classes should be held in the form of a game. Gradually involve the child in all new games and fun, systematically repeating them so that the child consolidates the learned movements. It's great if you encourage a child with praise, be surprised at how strong, dexterous, strong he is, how much he already knows. A demonstration of his skills in front of the rest of the family or his peers will also help arouse the child's interest in classes. So gradually the child develops self-confidence and the desire to learn further, mastering new, more complex movements and games.
If the child has no desire to study, analyze the reasons for such a negative attitude towards classes in order to create more favorable conditions in the future. Some obese children do not like to study because it is difficult for them to move, they are prone to laziness. Such children should be treated with the help of a diet and every effort should be made to involve them in classes so that they do not lag behind in motor development. In addition to praise, they can also be encouraged by a convincing explanation why physical education is so necessary (so that he does not look like a bear cub, so that other children do not overtake him, so that he learns to swim sooner). By the way, overweight children have excellent data for mastering swimming.

"A healthy mind in a healthy body" - Juvenal.

"You need to maintain the strength of the body in order to maintain the strength of the spirit" - Victor Hugo.

This article is devoted to how to instill in a child a love of sports and physical education. What should I do if my child wants to quit sports? Should it be forced? You will receive answers to these and many other questions from this article.

Where to begin?

The very first thing to do before sending your child to any sports section is to visit a doctor and find out if the crumbs have any contraindications.

Secondly, parents need to decide why they want to send their child to sports.

There are two options here:

• to improve health and develop such qualities as dexterity, endurance, flexibility;
• to build a successful career as a professional athlete in the future.

Based on this, the requirements for the athlete will vary.

The third stage will be the choice of sport, and here again there are options. Most parents themselves choose the sport for their children. In general, this is wrong. It is better to give the baby several options, among which he will choose the one he likes best.

A good base for any sport and for the body as a whole will be swimming. It perfectly develops the musculoskeletal system. You can send your child to this sports section as early as 5 years old.

Why do children need sports?

Adolescence is a period of active physical and mental development, at this time the formation of many organs of the body is completed, the character of a maturing personality is being formed. Physical culture and sports contribute to the harmonious development of a teenager both from a physiological and psychological point of view.

Physical culture and sports contribute to the formation of muscle mass, make the ligaments more elastic. Adolescents involved in physical education have more developed coordination. With active loads in boys, the formation of the male type of constitution occurs faster. Good physical shape implies a strong physique, endurance, agility, provides the necessary strength for learning and communicating with friends.

Sport forms a strong will, determination, teaches to overcome difficulties and move towards the goal in spite of any circumstances. The athlete's focus on results pushes him to train with special effort, to sacrifice a lot for the sake of achieving victory. Sport is the art of achieving victory by overcoming incredible difficulties.

Many sports involve teamwork, which promotes communication skills and camaraderie. In addition, children involved in sports will be far from bad habits.

Why don't kids want to play sports?

• A teenager avoids difficulties, is afraid of losing. This happens when a child is not confident in himself, he does not have the ability to concentrate and overcome difficulties. Defeat or failure is a blow to their sick ego. Sometimes moms and dads themselves exacerbate the situation with their statements about unjustified expectations.
• Poor health after exercise. As a rule, children recover quickly after training, but they also get tired quickly. The body of a teenager is subjected to heavy loads, so it is possible that he will feel bad after playing sports. It is harder for those who came to classes at an older age due to lack of physical fitness.
• Exhaustion due to study. Lessons, homework, and in high school and exams take a lot of energy.
• Parents chose the wrong sport, not listening to the advice of psychologists and the opinion of the baby himself. Imagine that a boy dreams of becoming an Olympic boxing champion, but he was sent to swim, or a girl who dreams of a career as a figure skater is signed up for athletics. When choosing a sport for a child, it is important to consider his physique and type of nervous system. Some prefer team sports, others - individual (single).
• In some cases, children do not want to go to the sports section just because they do not know why they need it. Here the task of parents is to arouse the child's interest in sports.

How to get your child to play sports?

First you need to establish the cause of unwillingness, then try to eliminate it.

Lack of self-confidence can be corrected paying attention to, albeit small, but still achievements and victories, be sure to praise for it. Any comparison of a teenager with other children and in general with anyone is prohibited. In case of an unsuccessful performance at the competition, support him, find positive moments, be sincerely proud of your child, because the greatest victory is a victory over yourself. Be sure to tell your son or daughter about it. Convince him that next time he will perform better, and today the athlete received invaluable experience.

Do not forget to undergo an annual examination, and if you experience any ailments, be sure to contact a specialist.

If the child is very busy at school and other circles, then you need to either reduce the number of classes, or instead of professional sports, engage in lighter sports without spending too much time. For example, doing morning exercises or practicing at home on the Swedish wall will be enough to gradually involve the child in physical education.

Of course, parents need to know how to persuade a child and how to encourage him to play sports. Draw his attention to the fact that representatives of the opposite sex like a sports figure more, explain that successful athletes are very respected people. Inform also that in the university where the teenager will study, athletes have great privileges.

Motivation for classes

Various gifts are not a way to "lure" a child into sports. This is absolutely wrong and fraught with consequences. The result of such bribery will be further blackmail by the baby. The lesson itself will not bring him joy, and he will "serve" training only for the sake of a gift. Expect outstanding results in this case is not worth it. One can only hope that over time, spending a lot of time in training, the child will be drawn into them and begin to take sports seriously.

Screaming and punishment is not motivation. You need to patiently and skillfully inspire the child to move forward towards their goals.

The most difficult thing is to cope with the initial stage. It is necessary to support the child especially strongly when he has just started going to the sports section, in the future it will become easier. The first success will inspire the teenager, he will have an ardent desire to work harder in order to improve his result.

It will be great if the child begins to play sports together with schoolmates or yard mates. The desire not to seem weaker than your friends is a serious motive for a child from 7 to 10 years old.

Attentive attitude to the child will allow you to understand him correctly and choose a sport that is completely suitable for a teenager. It's okay if things don't work right away with sports. Some guys do not come to it immediately, but at an older age. Perhaps your child will begin to study, becoming an adult.

From the author:
I am often asked how I "persuade" or "negotiate" with my children so that they go to training. The thing is, I don't convince anyone children always have a choice - to go or not to go(and in the two and a half years of our studies, there were such “yes, I absolutely know that I won’t go today” maybe four times, for all three).

But there were many cases on the contrary, when with fever, sick, these children, like some kind of sectarians, rushed into the hall, as if there were no more important things in the world. And the worst punishment in the gym itself is suspension from training or performing a certain exercise.

They also like to come early and as an unspoken rule of good manners, as well as a reason for pride, they are considered to leave later, generally later than everyone else. The coach for them is the greatest authority in the world, they hang on every word and coaching gifts are the most precious for them. Now they are 12, and almost 8 years old, and they are much older, more independent, more purposeful and, it seems to me, happier than I was at their age.

I thought about how we came to this state of affairs, when the children themselves voluntarily rush to the gym, where they train hard for 4, and sometimes for 5 hours, where they can be shouted at and hurt, when they are ready to work without lowering their hands on some element that may not work out for months ... well, and in general is able to work on its own, even when there is no one around and not let it slip. Of course, such children are not “given out” ready.

And what is happening is the result of some “party policy” that has been carried out throughout this time.

The first principle, the most important -This business should be such that both the child and the parents like it.

If you don’t like the business, well, the soul doesn’t lie to it, nothing will work out. For example, older children did karate for several years, and went to classes with the businesslike sadness of a small creature who still has no choice (yes, it was like that in our family then). I thought karate was important. It seemed to the children that hitting each other was not right. And for almost three years that we have been there, their opinion has not changed. They received blue belts with yellow stripes. Sports did not captivate them. That is, if this is something that parents only like, and no one is particularly interested in the opinion of the child (a common scenario with music schools), then the option “be patient, fall in love” may not work.

But this is also important: if the parent himself does not get carried away by what the child loves, then the child's immature psyche can easily be "blown away" at the first failures. Any occupation has its joyful and dark sides. Gymnastics, for example, is so beautiful, but stretching is so painful. A little girl may really want to be a gymnast and really not want to endure pain. The task of a parent is to be there, if not at the trainings themselves, then really be in the subject in general, show that “I am with you”, this is important and interesting for him. It is more interesting to go together, especially on an unfamiliar road. And if this is such a thing that an adult doesn’t have a soul at all - a child can turn sour (... well, if it’s not important for parents, then even more so for me ...)

The second principle is a smooth start. No person can withstand the momentary immersion in the training regime of a professional athlete. Children of the first year just learn to go to these classes, and what happens there is no longer so important. When we first started, the children studied three times a week for an hour and a half and that was just enough. Sometimes it seemed to me that so little time had passed, we just relaxed - and then training again ... and it was only 4.5 hours a week. And now there are 27 of them. We started with a circus studio, the children liked it. It happens that ambitious parents bring their children to a serious group, saying “we are very serious about it”, there they start to plow and just burn out - it’s hard, nothing works out, we will never keep up with other children, etc. Before you develop speed, you need to accelerate, and in our business, acceleration should be smooth. We've been building momentum for many months. When daily training began in the sports group, we would not have survived if we had not been engaged in a circus studio for half a year. The children were first released after two hours, and I had no idea how the children who train 4-5 can withstand.

The third principle is that everyone has their own way and their own speed. My three children who train with the same coach in the same group are completely different. The eldest daughter is gifted with data, strength, but often she lacks drive and perseverance. She is a sad pale princess. The second daughter is a small tractor. I would write a “stupid” tractor, but you can’t do that about children, and especially about your own. She is not gifted with data, new elements are difficult for her, learning a dance sequence is generally a nightmare. But she is fantastically efficient and loves what she does.

To “launch” it into work, completely different levers are needed than the older one. We also have a younger boy. Being the twin brother of a small tractor, he became her antipode, so to speak. The boy clearly knows his limits of comfort, he does exactly as much as he is comfortable with, and the coaches quickly adopted a position of “non-violence” towards him. So far, he is about a year and a half behind the sisters in terms of skills. But for some reason we all believe in his great future.

It's just that this boy needs time to prove himself, to open up. If it weren't for his sisters, I don't know if I would have had the patience to take him to practice every day, where he does ten percent of what he could. Indeed, compared to the rest of the children, this boy is the most lagging behind. But this is not the main thing - because he likes what he does. He is not ready to work like the rest, but in general he likes training. And this is the main point!

The fourth principle is that there is always a choice. I am often asked “but if they decide to quit? ... you will not be sorry for the time spent?”. Firstly, this time is very high quality, it is a great time. And we go to training not only to achieve something in the future, but because it's cool. Like going to the movies, for example. But, on the other hand, if we train where there are all sorts of competitions, then, of course, we want the outcome of these trainings to lead children to prizes. Everyone remembers this. And if they want to quit, I will do this: I will ask them to think carefully about their partners, whom they leave halfway. About coaches who may have some plans for them, believe in them and love them in their own way. And weigh everything again: the problem leading to leaving lies in the field of sports, in the field of relationships, in the field of personal skills, inability, and so on.

Next, we will talk about what could cause such a decision. My youngest daughter said that “she has nothing else to do in acrobatics” when they were separated from her sister, with whom they performed quite well in a pair and she was left without a team. We came to the conclusion that this is not “bad acrobatics”, but circumstances have developed, and it will be very stupid to quit now, when everything has just begun. We discussed the fact that her personal skill does not depend on a partner nearby and there are many things that she can learn on their own. Daughter was reassured by this conversation. In general, children trust me, they know that I am on their side and will never say “no, because I decided so.” We talk a lot about their training, my husband and I know by name all the kids in the group, and this activity has become part of our family in some way. Not just a place where children go to train.

The fifth principle - we help with the first victory. I think the only period when you can run into a recruit hard (parents, in a sense, you can - it's the coach's job every day :), press and leave no way out but to try - this is the initial stage, before the first competition.

"Unfired" children do not know how to work and try in principle. Imagine the face of a typical scoliotic schoolboy looking away from the tablet “what-o-o-o-o-? work-o-o-o-otat?

It is important to understand that this is not a fight with a person, but a fight with laziness.

Mine were exactly the same. I am infinitely grateful to our first coaches from the circus studio, who said that my children, who went there for three months to hang out, are not ready to work and there is nothing for them to do in this circle. This is where we took them on. "Do you want to continue?" They wanted. "Will you be upset if you get kicked out?" They got upset. And then we agreed with them that we would bring them up to the level of that group, but we would act as we should, and not as they might be accustomed to and pleased. Is the game worth the candle? You can sign a contract with a child, by the way. To be clear - THIS has clear time limits. Let's say a month. The first days of home training were hell - I stood outside the door and listened to the howling of the children whom Dima taught to tumble. They howled with frenzy from protest, from the fact that their whole essence did not want to make an effort. But after a couple of weeks, they learned to tumble forward, backward, make a “wheel” and began to skip to class themselves.

It was important for us to break through this barrier, break the force of gravity and bring them into a new orbit.

Yes, you could wave your hand - it's hard to roll back. It hurts to sit on the twine. It's not ours. But in any business it is like that - at first it seems difficult, and then there is so much joy when it works out!

I saw a lot of kids who refused to go to the gym because it seemed to them that they simply could never do it. Why take. That's why coaches sometimes yell at children like that - they say, don't you dare doubt, you lazy bag of bones, you can do it! And they can.

Principle six - support for the smallest achievements. Paradoxically, the more you praise a child, the more he works. There must be a fulcrum when the whole world is against you - judges, rivals, everyone is just waiting for you to stumble.

That is why a warm, honest parental rear is so important.

I never scold children for not succeeding in something, although there were many such situations as in the joke about “don’t cry girl, your head is not square” We have a rule to rejoice at any, the tiniest victory. Many parents are afraid to overpraise their children, to spoil them - but the fact is that children do not stop when they achieve one kind of victory, they need to move on, increasing the number of victories. That's why you can't spoil them with praise.

The seventh principle is not everything at once and everything has its time. My eldest son has not yet found a job that he is ready to do day and night. That is, he found it, but we still need to come to a reasonable consensus - so that his hobby would take on a structured form with a professional cut. He is 15 and I think that everything is still ahead. The eldest daughter changed more than ten circles from dancing to zoology, before unexpectedly taking root in acrobatics for everyone. She was 11 years old when she, completely unprepared, not stretched, came to the sport, where it is customary to start at 6 years old. But at 6 years old she was a completely different person, she was just too early.

The eighth principle is where a good coach is. We spend about two and a half - three hours a day on the road. We drive through the whole city and it is sometimes exhausting. Of course, there are sections and closer. But even if suddenly our group moves even further and more inconveniently, we will continue to travel, because it all starts with the coach. It seems to me that if necessary, we will even move to another city. It is very important that children love their coach and trust him.

Sports are useful at any age. It is simply necessary for a growing child's body. Classes in sports sections comprehensively develop the baby:

• improve health;
• teach discipline;
• form positive thinking;
• stimulate the development of mental functions;
• help direct children's energy in a useful direction;
• make a significant contribution to the upbringing of a successful personality.

You will read more about this in the article "". And today we propose to figure out what to do if your heir does not show interest in the section, does not want to play sports and in every possible way shirks training.

• How to choose the right key without turning sports into torture for all household members?
• How to effectively motivate a child?

Eureka recommends!

When choosing sports sections for a child, be thoughtful. Take your time. It is important to take into account the peculiarities of the psyche and physical preparation of the baby, his interests, aspirations and dreams. Don't forget: your child is an individual, not your chance to fulfill your own childhood dreams. If you slept and saw yourself on the ice in a bright figure skater outfit, but mom and dad never signed you up for the rink, it doesn’t mean that your daughter shares this dream.

Don't be afraid to make a mistake. You can go to a trial workout - in most sections, this is provided for by the conditions of registration. You can work out for a week, a month, a year. If this particular sport does not fall into the circle of interests of your heir, you can always find something new.

The main thing is to distinguish when there is no motivation to go in for sports in principle, and when the child does not like a certain sports club.

The lion's share of the child's interest in a particular section is determined by the personality of the coach. Keep this in mind when deciding where to take your baby to sports. A good children's trainer should have a number of important characteristics:

• love children;
• have pedagogical talent;
• be able to manage conflict situations;
• choose the right motivation tools;
• effectively organize interpersonal interaction between young athletes.

Of course, professional skills are no less important:

• a competent coach knows how to select an individual load;
• timely notices problems in mastering the technique;
• able to discern true sports talent even in a clumsy baby;
• none of the children interested in this sport is denied their attention and participation.

The coach must be strict, but fair: where necessary - scold, where necessary - cheer. A positive signal if a variety of collective events are periodically organized in this section: trips to nature, children's holidays with animators, competitions, excursions, etc.

• sports uniform: swimming trunks (swimsuit), gymnastic leotards, kimono, sports shoes;
• protective equipment: water goggles, shields, bandages, caps, gloves;
• inventory: skipping ropes, ribbons, balls, punching bag, skates, bicycle.

You will almost certainly have additional expenses in accordance with the choice of the sports section. Be prepared for this and provide the child with everything necessary. True, one should not force events and empty the shelves of sports stores before a final decision is made. But make sure that the young athlete at the right time has everything that is required for full-fledged classes.

Beat the acquisition of sports paraphernalia so that the baby has a bright, pleasant impression. Let him choose the color of the uniform, a bag for storing sports equipment. The more active the child's participation in this process, the more involved he is, the more responsible his attitude to training will be.

Overwork is one of the most common reasons why children refuse to attend training. Of course, if a child has to run daily from one section to another, move from tutor to tutor, torn between an educational institution and additional classes, there really is a reason for excessive fatigue. If, in addition to kindergarten or school, he attends the only sports club, then, most likely, you failed to properly organize the daily routine of a little athlete.

It is necessary to teach a child to a healthy regimen from early childhood. As they grow up and new responsibilities appear in children's lives, the regime will certainly undergo changes. In no case do not let these processes take their course. Control the baby's workload, the frequency of passive and active rest, the duration of sleep, the quality and quantity of food.

The more strictly the correct daily routine is observed, the more strength the child has for diligent sports.

Playing sports requires endurance, composure, patience and strength from the child. Fatigue, injuries, unfortunate defeats are the constant companions of any athlete. But one who has a reliable rear and an effective support group is able to overcome any difficulties and diligently move towards his goal.

Be ready to lend a helping hand when the need arises. Recognize that your baby is difficult, and show him how to get out of this state.

Tip 6. Show genuine interest in your child's athletic performance.

• communicate with the coach;
• ask the child about how the training went;
• attend competitions and other sports events open to visitors (certification, reporting concert, demonstration performances, fees, etc.).

In general, keep your finger on the pulse, in every possible way demonstrating your sincere interest in the sports life of your heir. So, firstly, you will be able to recognize the signs of an emerging decline in interest in classes and take measures to eliminate them before the problem picks up menacing momentum. Secondly, it will become another topic for spiritual conversations necessary for a healthy, trusting relationship between children and parents.

• attend various sporting events with your children;
• read the stories of successful athletes;
• arrange family film screenings of feature films or documentaries about sports with their indispensable subsequent discussion;
• play team sports games with the whole family, ride bicycles and roller skates, train at home and outdoors.

Children, for whom sport is a natural part of family life, quickly find a section to their liking and are well motivated to achieve a certain result.

So, in order to captivate your child with sports, you need to:

• set a good example;
• taking into account the characteristics of the baby;
• support your young athlete in every possible way.

But if you have tried all the ways to accustom your child to sports, but have not achieved your cherished goal, do not be tempted to use authoritarian tools - pressure and coercion. It is better to find an opportunity to organize healthy physical activity for your child outside the framework of a specific sports club.

May your children be healthy and happy! Happy parenting, friends!
