To play sports with the whole family, the main thing is to start small, walking in the mornings and going out into the nature together on weekends. It must be remembered that children take an example from their parents, which means that we must try to make them grow up active people who love sports.
Instructions
Step 1
Everyone has heard the saying "A bad example is contagious." So, children will be guided by their parents, and if mom and dad prefer to spend their free time on the couch, it’s foolish to expect them to have a great love of sports. You must set a good example for the baby, which means you need to act. Where to begin? Psychologists say that it is not at all necessary to go in formation to the gym or to the equestrian section; for a start, you should engage in active games, which at first are quite capable of replacing sports. Was the weather good? Take a walk in the forest. You can use such an opportune moment for a quiet hunt or collecting leaves for a future herbarium.
Step 2
Remember yourself as a child, how you sledged from the snow-capped mountains or played snowballs. Invite your family to go sledding or go to the ice rink. Such a joint pastime will benefit the whole family, bringing close people together and allowing them to escape from everyday worries and better understand each other. You will get the opportunity to improve your figure and increase vitality, and babies will get used to physical activity, temper and develop healthy habits that will last a lifetime.
Step 3
Today, all kindergartens organize a health day, when all dads and mothers are invited to take part in a massive competition. Do not refuse such an offer, start small, and your reward will be your baby's happy smile and his perky laugh. Perhaps this will motivate you to joint morning runs on weekends, and then you can think about a subscription to the sports section. It doesn't have to be sambo and judo, you can become an active member of a chess club or make your cherished dream come true - to dance rumba. All in your hands. The main thing is that it is enjoyable and welcomed by all family members.
Step 4
Perhaps your son or daughter will ask you to take a friend or girlfriend with you on a hike, or maybe a few friends. Yes, it's a big responsibility, but it's worth it. It may happen that you have a large team, including the parents of these children, with whom you will make friends and play sports together. For example, get out of town and plunge into the atmosphere of a real war by taking part in a game like paintball. The main thing is to act, not sit still, and then you will very soon be able to appreciate the positive aspects of an active lifestyle and you will never be able to refuse it again.
