Our children, young or old, are beings in full development., and we, parents, are there to strengthen their foundations. Their nutrition or their awakening are part of our priorities, and the school is also there to participate in this.
On their side, sport is an essential asset!
In addition to playing a role in the child psychomotor development, “sport accompanies him well beyond the boundaries of the field, it is the school of life”, explains Doctor Michel Binder.
By spending time with teammates or opponents, the child will socialize and learn to respect others. The intellectual level is not left out, because sport helps speed up decision-making and promotes concentration.
That's not all, by practicing a sporting activity, your child will gain self-confidence and acquire a certain autonomy.
Of course, the health benefits are significant: studies have shown that children who participate in athletics or ball sports develop bone mass greater than their sedentary peers and have a lower risk of osteoporosis in middle age.
The start of the school year in September is the ideal time to register them; talk to them about it, guide them according to their characters or preferences, there are many choices:
team sports, dance and/or body expression, martial arts (judo, aikido, kung fu), climbing, horse riding, tennis, etc.
