Your baby has grown up and his physical activity has increased. How to direct the indefatigable energy of a toddler in the right direction?
In this process, sports will provide invaluable assistance. At the first stages, it can be simple physical education: morning exercises and various outdoor games. Starting from the age of four, the question arises of enrolling a child in any sports section. The mistake of many parents lies in the choice of sections "by prestige" at the moment. In this case, the first place is placed not on the child's desire, but on the unmet ambitions of the parents. The main goal in a child's sports activities is to raise a physically strong and hardy person. In addition, sport instills discipline and composure. And these are very important qualities.
Each sport is attractive in its own way. But, if the baby is susceptible to frequent colds, viral infections, then it is better than swimming. What does swimming give a child? What is its use?
The main factors are:
- Wellness.
- Hardening.
- Strengthening the nervous system.
- Development and strengthening of the musculoskeletal system.
- Beneficial effect on the heart muscle.
- Respiratory development.
-
Development of rhythmic movements.
Experts strongly recommend that you be careful when choosing a pool. If it is adapted for lessons with babies, then it is suitable for a child. If you could not find the pool you need, then do not rush and enroll your baby in the swimming section. Well, if you are lucky and the pool is selected, proceed to the next condition for the implementation of the task. It is about choosing a trainer for your child.
Nowadays it is quite common for people who are not professional teachers to work in the pool with children. Such training cannot produce good results. In order not to get to such a would-be trainer, be sure to attend a workout. See how the coach works with children. Feel free to inquire about his education and work experience. Ask what methodology he teaches.
Basic requirements for a coach:
- Must have a special education.
- Teach according to the classical method.
- Be able to work with preschool children.
It is very important. It depends on the first coach in a child's life whether he loves this sport or categorically refuses to do it. Do not strive to grow a champion out of a baby. Does it really matter? The main thing is that he will grow up healthy!
