What do we understand when we hear the word sports?
As an adult, we relate sports with fitness, weight loss, or mere bonding time with friends/family. Looking back in time, the p.e period (physical education) was the most awaited one as a child. This stands true even for kids these days. The evening visit to the park is the most exciting part of their day. They run downstairs to meet their friends, and play games or ride their bicycles together. Many schools nowadays arrange yoga, athletic training for children apart from sports. These physical activity sessions are undoubtedly important for children’s physical as well as mental health.
Physical and mental development plays a dominant role in the growing years of a child. From being dependent on parents or care-takers, children step into adulthood with independence. The capabilities to take care of their day to day activities is important for their well-being.
