How do Kids Understand the Need for Fitness?

Expecting a better life for the kid’s future is every parent’s favorite mind time. Especially making them accustomed to eating veggies and fitness in most cases making them adhere to one extreme sport will already be in the imagination. Since kids can’t figure out what shall work out in their favor, parents put forth plenty of activities by making them join on the weekdays. It’s like Playtime rather than showtime! 

What’s the general response of the kids towards it? Most of them would love and hop on, and some may show disinterest in outdoor activity as the age of the digital world has done worse things by bringing the games online, And some may dwell in the books!

It’s good that parents think ahead of time about their happiness, healthy lifestyle, and activities but waits, do you know the ultimate goal for your kids yet? It’s time to think from that perspective.

First on the list is to understand the kid’s nature.

We leave our kids to learn in school and never get to focus on how their patterns are. Only a teacher in the school can analyze, but it’s high time the parents understand. Not all of us are alike. And that’s it stands first.

Extrovert kids are more interactive and like to be out with a group of fellas, but introverted kids are solo types fond of playing along with the things, and some are those who are involved with other kids.

So start from knowing them before making a program list for the weekend as the ultimate goal is to keep them active and, of course, loving it.

Now figure out what their interest is!

Need not what the parent’s interest is, be the kid’s interest to continue the legacy. Expecting is bad but letting them have an opinion is to understand them,

Maybe their interest is in dancing. It is not a destructive activity at all. It’s good to think kids have fickle minds, but their interests lie there, and that’s it! Try to explain to them about the list of activities briefly, and if it still points to dancing, then that’s the one!

And those who are fickle-minded, changing interests all the time? Let them be that, after all, the point is to stay running and active.

Throw a look at your priorities too

Yes, it is understandable that the kid’s interest is concerned, but it shall stay positive as long as your commitment towards fulfilling their interest balances with your personal life. When there is distress, it doesn’t keep anybody’s mood alive.

So it doesn’t mean to kill your plans. The point is to balance them and to fuse fitness in their activities. Only when you could make quality- time prioritize everything, the activity program makes sense; otherwise, it certainly disrupts the continuity in the long run and can remain a two-week plan that you wouldn’t want to happen.

You can be the source of inspiration.

Engaging kids need persistent effort. Not just by joining a program but a motivating in-house activity in the family! Allow the kids to experience how it acts rather than just viewing the reels. Teach them your routine exercise to keep them physically active. Often conduct such Playtime in the house! Are you noticing? You are inspiring them! So, it would help if you were involved in the first place to see that in them.

A few thoughts

We are human beings and not robots. They are kids and not a thing. The right of decision-making should always depend on their liking rather than just yours. If it is so, it doesn’t make sense at all about their existence in reality. It’s time to let them be who they can be rather than what you want them to be, and of course, that needs a little push from the parents when they lack behind in the process. 

Of course, staying healthy has to be prioritized through the activity as kids wouldn’t understand its importance but make sure they already have the interest to support it. If they don’t have interest in fitness or physical activity, then make them know what is there. And be an inspiration to kids as that itself would make them love an activity.

Would you please not waste it? Set a good example by instilling a love for fitness through exercise and every possible way. Your family should be very active. This attitude will accompany your child for the rest of his life and her child’s life and become a legacy. So, act on imbibing these activities if you don’t already have one, which would turn out to make your life blissful and your followers too towards the change that leads to a healthy lifestyle, and who wouldn’t want it, right? At least after going through the pandemic situations. We want it, no more to struggle, So, start now and enact right now.
