For every growing child motivation plays a significant role in his development as an individual. Recent studies done by various universities show that lack of motivation prevent physical activities in children. This can be solved by conducting physical training program every day after school. According to the census very less number of students does exercise daily. Most of the children prefer playing play station and computer games.
Watching TV for long hours is also another young age hobby. These activities act as barriers to the physical development of boys. There are also environmental barriers. Lack of facilities such as playground in schools also affects the physical activities. Boys tend to be more active during this age. But the modern life and inadequate caring of parents to their children due to immense work are all degrading the physical and mental health of the children. Due to the above, children are becoming more obese these days. Fast food along with lack of exercise can lead to serious diseases. These diseases tend to appear only at an older age but we must understand that it comes as a result of the habits during the childhood. This age boys are more obese than girls. We, parents must take care of our children. So, how can we do this? We must spend more time with our children.
We must encourage them and allow them to entertain in activities like playing football or other outdoor games. Playing in door and video games must be reduced. Fast food must be minimized. Send your child to schools which give good importance to games and activities. Make walking as a habit. Try to walk at least 1km daily. Make sure that teachers also provide enough encouragement to your children. In this way you can develop your child physically and mentally.
