1. Exercising with a ball can influence your child's physical activities to a great extent. Playing with ball will teach your child important sports skills, such as, throwing, catching, dribbling, kicking and aiming for a target. Ball play also help your children to keep to a healthy weight and a good level of fitness and are great for making muscles and bones stronger. By age 3, toddlers can balance briefly on one foot, kick a ball forward, throw a ball overhand and catch a ball with stiff arms.

Make sure your child runs every evening to strengthen his limbs. This is a healthy practice for young children. Eventually his limbs will grow strong and he can take up active sports later.
