Take your kids to exercise.
Visible is that the body is stronger and the personality is more confident;
What is invisible is that the mind is more flexible and the heart is more tenacious.
Either way, it is guiding children to a better future.
This article about the dry goods of sports is worth a look.

During the holidays, I saw a circle of friends:
During the holidays, he took his son to climb the mountain and lost 3 pounds in 4 days.
I think:
His own son should also change his habits.
thereupon
I started taking him for running, climbing, rock climbing, playing football.
Half a year later,
Children not only fall in love with sports,
Do not doze off when listening to lectures, do not sleep lazily on rest days,
Even my favorite games have been quit.
Psychophysiologist Charles said:
Long-term exercise has an impact on children beyond expectations.
Perhaps for many parents,
Exercise is optional,
But they don't know,
The benefits of exercise for children,
It can be reflected in many ways.
Sports-loving kids
Will win in "concentration"
I have two friends,
One has been a bully since childhood.
Other kids are playing after school.
But she obediently went home to write her homework.
From elementary school to high school, he has always been the first place in the class,
Parents and teachers praised her:
This child will definitely be admitted to Tsinghua Peking University.
But until the second year of high school,
She was still thin and looked weak.
Senior year, under the pressure of exams,
She fell seriously ill and her condition plummeted.
Not only did he leave a lot of homework during his illness,
And the physical strength is no longer as abundant as before.
Before the final exam,
Because of a cold,
Often go to the hospital,
The mental state is also getting worse,
The test scores are worse and worse each time.
Another friend, who grew up with mediocre grades, but loves sports.
College entrance examination, she with sports expertise, escorted 985 University;
After graduation, because of the strong ability to resist pressure and the flexibility of the mind,
Enter the top 500 enterprises.
now
She is already the senior leader of the company.
Career and family double harvest.
Every day still thunders,
Stick to the running habit that has lasted for more than ten years.
She said:
Exercise for half an hour a day, and the working state will be better.
The experience of these two friends,
I am reminded of a survey result:
In 2016, 34 of the 63 college entrance examination winners in the country loved sports;
In 2017, 24 of the 42 college entrance examination winners in the country loved sports.
Love sports, do not know when to become the standard of "elite".
The world is quietly treating children who love sports.
The 2018 data shows:
Harvard University favors physical education students.
Not only is the special stroke rate as high as 12%,
Moreover, hundreds of places are opened to sports students every year.
Why are sports students so "popular"?
A study abroad worker said:
Compared with other children, sports students have a better temperament,
More stress-resistant, more flexible and more focused.
Studies have shown that
19,000 students abroad have to run in the morning before class.
Compared to their peers, they are not only healthier, but also smarter.
The most convincing example,
It's the presidents of the United States:
Trump is the main force on the school football team;
Obama is an all-round sports genius;
Three generations of the Bush family have been Yale baseball stars.
Some people think:
When your child visits to exercise, his mind will be empty.
Actually, this is a fallacy.
The better the athleticism,
The more children tend to be able to focus on things.
Scientists do experiments on mice,
The results confirmed:
Exercise improves four important functions of the brain:
attention
memory
flexibility
Stress resistant.
Exercise accelerates hand-eye coordination,
Every action is not superfluous.
For example, playing basketball,
The child must keep an eye on the ball to score.
Over time, attention has been greatly improved;
For example, a simple catch-and-throw game,
There are up to hundreds of movements.
Want to throw the ball smoothly,
The child must remember each movement as well as the action.
Compared to "memorizing words",
This way of remembering allows children to learn faster and more.
Professor Reddy of Harvard University proposed:
Children with ADHD,
Suitable for a strict exercise program.
Ballet, fighting, rock climbing, skateboarding and any other sports,
Both can improve your child's concentration.
Why?
Because of moderate-intensity exercise,
Can help children concentrate,
Stay energized.
Many children with attention deficits,
Thus healed.
If there are children in the house who are not concentrating.
Whatever sport he likes,
Encourage him to stick with it for as long as possible.
If the child does not have a favorite sport,
Try walking and brisk walking,
20-30 minute brisk walk twice a week,
The intensity is 70 to 75% of the maximum heart rate,
Physical activity is not optional,
The more the child can insist on exercising,
The more you can focus on learning.
Psychological qualities will also be better
motion
It is also the best "catalyst" for children's psychological growth.
Sports competitions are won or lost,
Sandwiched between victory and defeat,
The child will gradually become spoiled,
No matter how big the setbacks in the future,
Can calm down and be flexible.
Exercise is the renewal of muscles,
Every cell cannot be lazy.
Even if you do a simple action,
It takes several times the blood and sweat.
The child's willpower,
You will also get exercised as a result.
A lot of parents,
Encourage children to read, learn, and attend interest classes.
They are hardly encouraged to exercise.
The reason is nothing more than the fear that the child will fall, bump, hurt, and delay learning.
I don't know if you noticed,
Children are more resilient than adults,
Fell, sore legs,
Just get up for a good night's sleep.
Sports medicine scientist LTECH found that:
Child's muscles,
It has resilience and endurance comparable to that of professional athletes.
Movement itself is a kind of frustration education.
In the victory or defeat of the sport,
The child exercised,
At the same time, it also tempered the will,
More tenacious,
He will also be able to "carry things" better than his peers.
In addition to this, the study also found that:
There are four hormones in the human body that are related to "pleasure":
Serotonin, dopamine, endorphins, oxytocin.
The first three hormones can be activated by moderate-intensity exercise.
Dopamine can make people feel happy and keep learning efficient,
Serotonin can help children release stress,
Adrenaline hormones can improve your child's concentration.

Nanjing University of Science and Technology also has a study showing:
Suicide rates are lower among sports students.
So, look around at the sports-loving kids,
Is it rare to look depressed by yourself?
After all, sports-loving children,
Emotions will easily reach a healthy and positive state.
Child's grades,
Just the outcome of this phase of learning.
When a child grows up, he wants to excel,
It's all about physical strength.
After a while, you will observe:
The brain and body are awakened at the same time,
It is more beneficial than pure mental exercise.
when to start exercising,
Best for kids?
You might ask:
There is no targeted exercise,
Can you improve your child's condition?
Since exercise is so magical, can it be cured of the disease?
Absolutely.
Psychologists believe that:
Introverted and shy children are suitable for dynamic movement.
Than a competitive, team-oriented ball game,
Improve social skills while exercising,
It can also help children release excessive tension;
Aggressive children are suitable for static exercise.
Such as ballet, tai chi, mountain climbing,
Static motion has more time to look around,
Feel the music, the beauty of the scenery,
Let the child's impetuous heart quiet down,
The nerves are like being massaged.
In addition, Canadian scientists have also developed the "Parent Guide to Sports Literacy Development for Children Aged 0-12":
Before the age of 4, the child is not mature and should not exercise.
Kicking, jumping, running and other system training actions,
It's too early for kids.
But you can take more children to parks, playgrounds,
Guide him to experience and explore various physical activities;
4-6 years old, the child enters the preparatory stage.
He began to imitate adults to do sports,
Nerves and experiences are already eager to try,
At this time, the most suitable way for children to exercise is walking and running;
After the age of 6, the child has reached the best time to exercise.
Skiing, swimming, cycling, kicking,
It's all for him.
If you want to learn sports expertise,
6 years old is the most suitable starting time.
Of course, each child grows at a different pace,
Some people are a little earlier, some people are a little later.
The Basic Motor Development Timeline for Children shows:
Overall,
Children's athletic ability will increase with age,
Walk at the age of 2, run at the age of 5, ski and bike after the age of 7,
It is the exercise plan that is most in line with the rhythm of children's growth.
Because
2-year-old children, spontaneously have an interest in climbing;
4-year-old children will go up and down stairs tirelessly;
The 6-year-old child began to kick the ball object repeatedly.
When a child shows interest in an action,
Observant parents,
I know that I want to conform to the development and love of my children,
Scientifically and moderately set the amount of exercise,
Do low- to medium-intensity exercises.
Slowly, develop exercise into a habit for your child.
the child's relationship with sports,
It's his relationship with the world.
As former Peking University President Wang Enge said:
People need to make two friends in this life,
One is the library and the other is the sports field.
Take the children who love climbing and see the vista of the mountains;
Let the children who love running appreciate the newborn sunrise;
Teach children who love to play football and enjoy the joy of the game.
Children can be like tried and tested trees,
Grow full and strong.
Every ball he kicks, every step he takes,
All will become the nourishment for the future to thrive and move towards the light.
Let the child be friends with sports,
Growing up bouncing,
Don't forget the end of the article [Like]
And [forward] the article to more parents
Let more parents know,
Exercise brings great benefits to children!
