There can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than the way it treats its childrenNelson Mandela
Children play for fewer periods than they did before and nowadays it is easier to find a child glued to a screen than it is to see them playing in the outdoors. A child requires engaging in physical activity for an average of one hour on a daily basis for them to be fit. They also get to have healthy weights in the process as they forge social connections.
Unfortunately, the number of children getting the recommended amount of exercise keeps dropping. As of now, it has fallen by an average of forty percent which is quite alarming. Research shows that as children move on to primary school, they engage in physical exercises less frequently and this trend continues through their school life.
Seventy-two percent of children engaged in sports are more confident than inactive kids so if you are looking for ways to help your child in this sector, get them to exercise and await the results. Ninety-three percent of the children reached during the study stated that they enjoyed getting engaged in physical activity which shows that exercise is great for their mental well-being.
