As the world moves towards digital space with each passing day, indoor confinement is slowly becoming the new norm. Even before the pandemic even existed, the old norms for children to engage in outdoor sports and physical activity were already in decline. Video games, in a way, give kids their daily dose of entertainment. However, participating in outdoor sports is important for a child’s overall physical development.
Better physical health and better social skills automatically follow when your child engages in outdoor sports and extra-curricular activities. However, if you are finding it difficult to get your child out of your mobile phone and laptop to go out, here are some tips that you can try.
Join them in an outside group or club
Keeping the child’s likes and dislikes in mind, place him in a play environment that he enjoys. Get them enrolled in a tennis club or swimming coaching center or any other activity. These clubs are a fun way to train kids and they will automatically develop an interest in sports.
Facilitate friendships with other children
If your child is an introvert, help her make new friends by participating yourself. Take your child to the children’s park, talk to other kids, introduce them to your kids and even make friends with other parents if you can.
play along
Sometimes a child may be ready to play outside but has no friends to play with. You can take the role of a playing partner and play with your child so that your child does not have to stay at home due to lack of friends.
buy sports kit
You can get your kid a sports kit like a cricket kit or a badminton racket and they will surely want to go out to show their new kit to their friends and play with them.
