A 2008 Women’s Sports Foundation Research Report concluded that children’s athletic participation is also associated with increased levels of family satisfaction, great achievement in study, and an overall better quality of life for children. And a study published in last month?s American Journal of Preventive Medicine showed that kids who are active at age 5 wind up with less body fat at ages 8 and 11. But one hotly debated discussion focuses on the kinds of sports kids should play, with parents mistakenly thinking, “Lizzie is so quiet. We should let her join in basketball and soccer to try to get her to open up.” But increasingly, experts are suggesting the healthier instinct (直觉) might be, “Lizzie is so quiet. Maybe we should see if she likes playing with a big team like softball or if she likes ballet or swimming, where she can work more on her own terms.” “Participation in any sport is going to provide kids with life skills — the ability to focus and to concentrate, the ability to handle pressure in tough situations, the ability to stay calm when things aren’t going just right,” explains Orlandobased youth sports psychology expert Patrick Cohn. Those lessons will carry over into future, nonsports attempts. |
