Getting involved in sports, whether individual or team-based, is a fantastic way for children to develop their social, physical, and emotional skills on the playing field. Sports also teach children about the value of goal-setting and practice.
At Burruss Family Child Care, a provider of high-quality child care in Redding, California, we’ve put together the top three reasons why we think children should play sports.
- Self-confidence
When kids accomplish their goals on the field, they learn to trust in their abilities which boosts their self-esteem. - Healthy lifestyle
Kids who participate in sports are more likely to be of normal weight. In addition, engaging in physical activities is a great way to reduce stress and to loosen up. - Social skills development
Playing on a team means working towards a common goal, communicating effectively with your members, and supporting each other. Kids also learn leadership skills, problem-solving skills, and sportsmanship.
