Sports in our children's lives promote good physical health and help prevent obesity. Each child, depending on their age, can practice different sports at school, during recess, in their backyard, and even during vacations.
If you encourage sports and motivate your child to engage in any sport, you will provide them with good health and ignite their interest in certain sports according to their physical and motor skills.
- From 2 to 5 years old
Children who have just mastered the art of walking and are gaining experience in basic body movements can choose sports that do not require much organization, where they can be independent and free to make their best effort, such as:
Running
Climbing
Kicking
Riding a bicycle or tricycle
Catching the ball
- From 6 to 7 years old
As their skills such as coordination and attention develop further, they can try to follow some direction to learn the concept of working within a team and with a single objective. Here, the options we find are structured sports such as:
Soccer
Swimming
Baseball and its variations
Martial Arts
Gymnastics
- From 8 years old onwards
After 8 years of age, children can practice almost any sport, taking the necessary precautions to protect their bodies. Here we can even include contact sports. At this age, children will also have the ability to decide which options they like the most.
If you notice that your children are not very interested in practicing any sport, don't worry; you can opt for other physical activity options like biking, skating, jumping rope, and more. During vacations, you can engage in many activities. You will be responsible for encouraging your children to be more active, even with virtual sports that require movement rather than sitting all the time.
An important factor in carrying out all these activities is proper nutrition. Adequate nutrition will provide them with enough energy throughout the day to stay active.
To start the day with all the energy, we have delicious cooking recipes for this vacation. You can serve them as breakfast or as a healthy snack.
