Team AckoFeb 8, 2024

It is of utmost importance that your five year old child at this stage is introduced to active sports. Like the other essentials of development, sports is one such area that brings about an all round development in a child. Your kiddo now needs to get into a social periphery where he can build on his skills and mature as an individual.

What you need to know

Any outdoor sports activity opens up a plethora of development areas for a child. Apart from getting regular physical exercise, active sports participation brings about a lot of positive change in life. For eg. if your child is shy and reclusive, playing a sport will certainly help him shed his inhibitions and regain his confidence. Sports enhance physical and mental capabilities and help your child develop skills like team building and leadership. Needless to say, such skills becomes defining once your child grows up.

Active sports also help to improve coordination, and teach them the importance of self-discipline. It immensely boosts self confidence and self esteem. There is one fact that nothing can teach better than sports -- acceptance of failure. The biggest lesson a child learns from playing sports is to embrace failure and accept the fact that winning and losing go hand in hand. Sports is thus a must. If you haven't plunged into this aspect of parenting, do it at the earliest. Five years is just the right age to introduce your kid to active sports and reap the benefits.
