Developing healthy habits at an early age is really important. Learning to love physical activity, as a child, can build an enduring lifestyle. These lifestyle decisions can prevent serious health issues as children move into adulthood.

 

I have personally found that when my daughter is active, she is less likely to ask for screen time or to play on her devices, she is able to concentrate better (for those who are kinesthetic learners), she is happier and in a better mood, and she has a more restful night’s sleep.

 

Furthermore, the sense of accomplishment that children feel while performing a physical activity can build confidence exhibited through all aspects of their lives. I ask all parents: who wouldn’t want that for their children (or even for themselves)?
