How to Find the Perfect Sport for Your Child

By Anonymous -


The benefits kids learn from playing sports go far beyond learning how to be a winner. Participation in sports teaches teamwork, healthy living, ways to improve weaknesses, and, yes, how to have fun in life. To maximize these benefits, a kid's time spent on sports should be an almost entirely positive experience. Parents must guide young ones through a life of sports the correct way.

Identify and Encourage Interest 

Parents have their favorite sports. Someone who grew up playing baseball usually feels an inclination to guide a child to step onto the diamond. There's nothing wrong with trying to encourage a child to play a sport. Problems arise, however, when a parent tries to force a choice on a youngster. Nothing will poison a young person's mind worse than forcing them to take part in a sport they don't like.

Parents must remain open-minded about what the young one wants. Look closely to see what activities interest him/her. Then, provide the necessary encouragement to help the child succeed at the activity. Does the child's attention perk up when hockey highlights appear on the news? Does the young one seem to be enamored with swimming? What activities do the child and his/her friends take part in? Such cues indicate interest. If you pay close attention, the child eventually reveals what sports he/she truly loves.

Know the Dangers 

Unlike those in past generations, today's parents can access a wealth of information about protecting their kids from sports-related injuries. The results of risky behavior, however, aren't always revealed right away. Sometimes, it takes years for the full extent of the damage to become apparent. Football is a prime example of how sports injuries can go undetected.

High impact sports like football can cause long-term brain damage. And football isn't alone in the risky sports department. Be mindful of the dangers associated with kid's sports. This way, you help keep them safe. You shouldn't scare them off, but don't place them in harm's way.

Embrace Atypical Sports 

Baseball, tennis, soccer, and basketball represents some of the most popular sports. Not every kid wants to be a star in a high-profile game, and there's nothing wrong with participating in something a bit "atypical" for kids. Maybe the young one likes diving, golf, or rugby. So be it! Each of those sports come with the same benefits of more popular athletic endeavors.

Almost any sport could open doors for athletic scholarships, which is a benefit that parents won't be dismissive and shouldn't discourage them from participating. Competition may not be fully in the mainstream or have broad appeal, but the good things sports deliver is usually still there.

Takeaway

Ultimately, be an involved parent. Show interest in your kid's sports and encourage them to stay active by participating in fun physical activities. Get your kid active by starting them out with bounces, games, slides, and more!
