Which sport to choose for
your child?
Is your child aggressive,
nervous or passive? There is certainly a sport
activity which is appropriate to him!
Experts will say it to you,
sport activity supports the development of the
child on the physical and psychological aspects.
Here are some suggestions of sports to which you
could initiate your child, this summer,
according to its temperament.
The nervous kid
Choose, for him, a sport where
he must learn how to control himself like
tennis, table tennis, badminton or volley ball.
The passive kid
Does your child want nothing to
know about team sports? Respect him and offer
him an activity where he will be measured with
himself, such as archery, climbing or cycling.
Get a chart of the cycling roads of your region
and leave for the adventure. Fix goals and
reward yourselves when they are reached. Have
fun!
The aggressive kid
If your child shows signs of
aggressiveness, direct him toward sports of
endurance like athletics, or combat sports such
as judo and karate. He will have to learn how to
respect his adversary and, consequently, his
entourage.
The shy kid
The rather timid child will
profit largely from the practice of a team
sport. During the action, he will learn how to
come into contact with other children, to
confront himself with them as well as being able
to make friends. Soccer is perfect for him. If
you cannot register him in a team, at this time
of the summer, get your ball out, gather some
children to build your own team and move, you
too!
The curious kid
The curious child
has the ideal
profile for summer
camps, where one
makes all kinds of
discoveries. He can
be initiated to
canoe, climbing,
night excursions in
forest, etc However,
nothing prevents you
from practising
these activities
with him: that will
keep you young! And
why not, depending
of his age, offer a
small rafting ride!
Since your child is
probably also a
neck-breaker, he
will want, later, to
test sky-diving or
hang glider!
Respect your
child. Do not impose
an activity to him
which he does not
want to make. You
will waste your
time, your money and
will disgust him
from sporting
practice. Before
registering him in a
club or buying
expensive equipment
to him, inform
yourself if he can
test the activity
during a certain
time. Several clubs
allow it.
