Children have to be active every day. Physical activity (sport games) stimulates growth and leads to improved physical and emotional health. Sport games can affect a child’s development of self-esteem and self-worth. Research shows that children would rather play sports than do anything else. Because sport is important to children, being good at sports is a strong social asset. Young boys in particular use sports and games to measure themselves against their friends. Children who are competent at sports are more easily accepted by children of their own age and more likely to be team captains and group leaders. Such children usually have better social skills.
The primary goal of parents and coaches is to help children find the success in sport they need to make them feel valued and wanted. Physical activity (sport games) has positive effects on your child health, including your child’s body, mind, spirit, and emotions. In the long term, it can also keep your child from developing health problems (like cardiovascular diseases), and promote healthy bones, good motor skills, and good social and emotional development. The more children play outside, the more physically active they are likely to be. Source: The Children’s Sport Participation and Physical Activity Study (CSPPA Study)
