This is because children after 2 years old are developing their "strength" and "speed" vigorously.
Sometimes, parents think that their children are too naughty and think that these behaviors should be stopped; Some parents feel too dangerous and are anxious to hold their children in their arms.
In fact, this is the characteristic that parents ignore the strength and speed development of children of this age. Parents can completely adapt to these characteristics, help their children choose some suitable sports and take their children to outdoor activities.
In the United States, all families with children usually use sports to kill their leisure time.
This family practices softball, swimming, basketball and rugby with their children ... The most important thing is the real devotion of their parents.
However, domestic parents generally attach importance to children's intellectual development and think that sports are a waste of time and a toss.
Many parents who have invested in children's sports are also for the "specialty" when they go to school in the future: practicing rankings and winning prizes, adding points for entering famous schools!
Exercise children's "strength" and "speed"
Is sports really just a stepping stone for children?
An ordinary foreign mother named Victoria wrote an email to her son's football club and gave us a vivid answer.
A friend once asked me: Why do you spend so much money to let your children play football?
Today, I want to say frankly that I actually spend money for children's football training, not for football itself.
To tell the truth, I don't care how children play football. So, if I don't spend this money to let my children play football well, what am I doing for?
I spent this money for those children who came home from school screaming "too tired" and didn't go to training, but still insisted on going to the stadium.
I spend this money to let my children learn to take care of their bodies.
I spent this money to let my children learn how to cooperate with others and become good members of the team.
I spend this money to let my children learn how to deal with disappointment and frustration. When they go to the game and don't score the goals they want, they can still train hard and prepare for the game.
I spend this money to let my children know that it is hard training every minute and every day to make a champion, and success will not happen overnight.
I spent this money to give my child a chance to have a friendship that can accompany him now and in the future.
I spend this money so that my children can breathe fresh air outdoors instead of staring at the electronic screen. ...
I spend this money not to let children play well, but to help them develop excellent qualities that will benefit them for life, so that they can learn to sincerely appreciate other people's lives.
Now, I think this investment is really worthwhile!
I believe this mother feels the significance of sports to her children's life, so she does not hesitate to support and encourage her children to join in football.
Mr. Li Daokui, a professor of economics and management in Tsinghua University, once wrote a widely circulated article. When talking about the experience of overseas exchanges and cooperation, he pointed out in particular that most western leaders have a skill in sports.
Because people with sports background and competitive achievements often have excellent minds, unbreakable self-confidence and appeal, and often stand out in all fields of society.
He thinks that people with sports background are more likely to achieve success.
If children are allowed to learn some physical skills and participate in more sports competitions on the basis of decent grades, they can give full play to their intellectual endowment and children will benefit endlessly for life.
Dad plays an important role in accompanying children in sports.
Before the age of 7, it is a critical period for children to develop sports habits, sports psychology and sports skills. Children might as well try all kinds of sports.
If children can keep 1-2 hours of various forms of physical exercise every day, they can form "sports inertia" from an early age, and become addicted to sports when they grow up, so as to realize long-term persistent exercise.
Exercise is good, but parents should also arouse their children's interest in this sport step by step, observe their interests and advantages, and then think about how to start training.
If you want your children to develop the habit of exercising, then parents should first set an example and exercise with their children. Instead of making demands on children.
A child with exercise habits will not only develop healthily in physical fitness, but also show greater energy in willpower and teamwork in the future.
Of course, the cultivation of all sports habits should be based on respecting the individual wishes of children.
