Childhood is a fleeting time in a person’s life. It should be as care-free, happy, healthy, and fun as possible. Let’s not forget that the values and habits established in our young lives are ones we carry with us into adolescence and adulthood. Do your children play enough? “When kids participate in healthy activities alongside their parents, they are more likely to continue being active and to enjoy it.
In childhood we need to ensure the active play and sport participation which supports the development of good interpersonal skills – which benefit us throughout life.
Physical activity strengthens the heart and reduces the risk of heart disease, leaving us free to live and love for a lifetime!
It’s proven. Physically active kids perform better academically. Encourage your kids to play outdoors after school, and advocate for plenty of active playtime and physical education at your child’s school.
Physical activity is a natural stress buster that can prevent and be as effective as medication in treating anxiety and depression. Teach your kids that exercise is medicine.
An active lifestyle can help us maintain a healthy weight at any age. It also fosters other healthy habits like eating well and getting adequate sleep.
Outdoor activity helps kids connect with nature.
An active childhood helps kids develop a sense of community and belonging, particularly through team sport participation.
Kids who are active and who enjoy plenty of unstructured active play have more confidence, higher self-esteem, and a healthier body image.
Risk-taking! Childhood play gives kids the opportunity to test their limits and take risks that build resilience. Best way to promote your child’s lifelong emotional well-being is to help him feel connected — to you, other family members, friends, neighbours, day-care providers, even to pets. “If we put our kids in a bubble and grant them their every wish and desire, that is what they grow to expect, but the real world doesn’t work.
To keep from over coddling, recognize that you are not responsible for your child’s happiness. Parents who feel responsible for their kids’ emotions have great difficulty allowing them to experience anger, sadness, or frustration. We swoop in immediately to give them whatever we think will bring a smile or to solve whatever is causing them distress. Once you accept that you can’t make your child feel happiness you’ll be less inclined to try to “fix” her feelings — and more likely to step back and allow her to develop the coping skills and resilience she’ll need to bounce back from life’s inevitable setbacks. While we can’t control our children’s happiness, we are responsible for our own. And because children absorb everything from us, our moods matter. Happy parents are likely to have happy kids, while children of depressed parents suffer twice the average rate of depression.
Many children’s lives have been destroyed in the course of parents trying to make their children be what they want them to be, not caring about the dreams and aspirations of the child. Adults are often pessimistic about their own dreams because they look at things from a more realistic point of view. Children however, are the opposite and rarely think about reality. They dream fiercely and feel that they are capable of achieving the impossible. So avoid giving them reality checks, and instead let them dream of becoming everything they want. Even if you haven’t realized your dream, don’t stop your children from thinking of theirs. The more faith you put in them, the closer they will be to achieving their dreams. Adults don’t have all the answers, nor do they need to solve their children’s problems. Learning to listen, while remaining engaged, is a crucial parenting skill. This quiet form of support and security shows your children you care. The main thing is that you put the time and energy in so that he knows that he matters in your life. Parents can make the learning exciting and fun by interacting with their children. Try to be encouraging and affectionate while teaching good habits for kids. Be firm if they are not following your instructions, but don’t discourage them with negative comments. Having a positive frame of mind is extremely essential for you as a parent during your child’s initial years.
