Children and sports

Sports help children develop physical skills, get exercise, make friends, have fun, learn to play as a member   

of a team, learn to play fair, and improve self-esteem. American sports culture has increasingly become a money making business. The highly stressful, competitive, "win at all costs" attitude prevalent at colleges and with professional athletes affects the world of children's sports and athletics; creating an unhealthy environment. It is important to remember that the attitudes and behavior taught to children in sports carry over to adult life. Parents should take an active role in helping their child develop good sportsmanship. To help your child get the most out of sports, you need to be actively involved. This includes:

• providing emotional support and positive feedback,
• attending some games and talking about them afterward,
• having realistic expectations for your child,
• learning about the sport and supporting your child's involvement,
• helping your child talk with you about their experiences with the coach and other team members,
• helping your child handle disappointments and losing, and
• modeling respectful spectator behavior

                                                                                                      
Although this involvement takes time and creates challenges for work schedules, it allows you to become more knowledgeable about the coaching, team values, behaviors, and attitudes. Your child's behavior and attitude reflects a combination of the coaching and your discussions about good sportsmanship and fair play.
It is also important to talk about what your child observes in sports events. When bad sportsmanship occurs, discuss other ways the situation could be handled. While you might acknowledge that in the heat of competition it may be difficult to maintain control and respect for others, it is important to stress that disrespectful behavior is not acceptable. Remember, success is not the same thing as winning and failure is not the same thing as losing.
If you are concerned about the behavior or attitude of your child's coach, you may want to talk with the coach privately. As adults, you can talk together about what is most important for the child to learn. While you may not change a particular attitude or behavior of a coach, you can make it clear how you would like your child to be approached. If you find that the coach is not responsive,  discuss the problem with the parents responsible for the school or league activities. If the problem continues, you may decide to withdraw your child.

As with most aspects of parenting, being actively involved and talking with your children about their life is very important. Being proud of accomplishments, sharing in wins and defeats, and talking to them about what has happened helps them develop skills and capacities for success in life. The lessons learned during

children's sports will shape values and behaviors for adult life.

Kindergarten Toys

Your child develops many important skills during the first years of schooling, both at school as well as home. Kindergarten toys aid in early education of the child. These

are designed in such a way as to keep the child engrossed, and help in the development of the child’s social skills, gross motor skills and also communication skills. The toys also help in developing the child’s concentration; the more engaging the toy, the better concentration the child will develop. Many of these toys also require two or three children playing together. This serves as a nice way for the children to bond and learn the basic skills of team play.
Kindergarten age kids broadly fall into three categories. The youngest are the four year olds who are yet  to develop all the gross motor skills and are a little unsteady in many of the movements. The four year olds form the second category. Four year olds usually attain stability in all their movements and also gain confidence of their motor skills. The oldest are the five year olds. By this age, the kid’s movements are very coordinated and have acquired almost all the motor skills. The classification of the kindergarten children is important as the children of the three categories have  different preferences when it comes to toys, as with many other things.
The preference of toys among the kindergarten kids also varies from boys to girls. Girls are usually partial to dolls and dollhouses whereas boys are more fascinated by magnet games, Lego, etc. Children also like simple musical instruments like a small electronic piano. Following are the kindergarten toys that girls and boys like:

There are also kindergarten toys that children of all ages, both boys and girls, enjoy equally. These are puzzles, card games, board games, small cycles, etc. When the child’s circle of friends consists of both boys and girls, these toys are the ones that all the friends will enjoy equally.
When buying kindergarten toys, certain precautions must be taken. It is always a good idea to check if the manufacturer has indicated age group for which the toy is suitable. Toys without such indication should be avoided at all costs.
Painting is an activity that kindergarten age kids enjoy a lot. There are many toys where the child is supposed to do paintings with specific colors at specific places.
