Why Kids should have a Sports Passion Like DD?

Reviewing key importance of kid’s sports

Sometimes, children face attention and learning issues, which make the parents feel that the kids aren’t good at anything. But it has often been observed that those kids do extraordinarily well when it comes to playing sports. In this scenario, parents should continuously support the sports passion in their children to help them grow in the best way possible.

There’re lots of sports activities that parents can help their kids get involved with. Sports like baseball, basketball, football are great examples of these activities that offer a multitude of benefits to the kids.

Here’re some of the major benefits of helping kids nurture their sports passion.

It increases self-esteem

Just like any other subject, being good at kid’s sports is very important for the development of a kid’s self-esteem. By playing team sports, he or she will learn to earn and give respect to others, apart from building a robust self-esteem for self. Engaging in different sports not only help the children find their strengths but also let them stay happy and motivated, just like DD.

It promotes healthy development

Having a passion for sports contribute heavily toward the healthy development of a kid. Not only does it helps them to stay fit, but also improves their bone development and cognitive ability. In addition, sports passion for kids let them learn teamwork and social skills.

Apart from these, regular participation in sports can help the kids learn and combat their fears, and develop steadiness, all of which would come in handy in their adulthood, when the stakes become much higher.

DD has Sports Equipment Superhero Friends – Who Would be Yours?

Usually a kid’s key form of interaction with the world is done through physical play and touch. They pick things up, examine them, and start learning the exhilarating sensation. Principles like fun, friendship, and teamwork arise naturally from these activities. When it comes to pushing kids into sports, many parents often struggle. While some kids gravitate toward it naturally, others may not demonstrate much interest. In such a scenario, kids’ favorite sports equipment can come to the parents’ rescue.

For parents who often have difficulty in keeping their children excited about sports or fitness, here’s an example of Dewey Does – the featured character in the Dewey Does 110 animation series. Dewey is a nine-year-old boy who loves everything sports. When he was a baby, Dewey’s parents noticed that he would show special interest in toys that were related to sports. He would actually start crying if any of his toys didn’t resemble any sports equipment. Dewey gets his passion for fitness, activity and sports from a lot of entertaining gym friends. His sports equipment friends are like super heroes and are capable of taking on the personality and attitude of their respective sport as well as where they originated from. Each story of the animation series typically starts with Dewey and his gym and sports equipment friends.

Like Dewey, every child can happily get into sports and fitness activities. It’s up to the parents to encourage them and do their best to maintain the fun and excitement related to those activities.
