Sprint in diapers

What you'll realize when your dearest "energy bombs" will begin to teleport anywhere in your home, is that being a parent is more or less a sport. We should stimulate their physical development and follow their progress in order to encourage the formation of a healthy and energetic person.

 

Physical development from 2 to 3 years
Walking up and down is already an everyday experience; your child will start running, throwing a ball with hands overhead and thus maintain the balance, kick balls, jumping on one leg, etc.. It will also begin to sit independently on a chair, and it will start using a fork and a spoon while eating. Urge him to make a few steps on toes or to skip obstacle without losing balance, that way you will stimulate and encourage the development of its balance. You can sit your child on a bike and encourage it to turn the pedals.

Physical development from 3 to 4 years
At this age a child can ride a tricycle or a bicycle with training wheels. It also maintains balance while running, so engage it in running and various pursuit games because at this age children move both
 forward and backward without difficulty. Add also ball games with other children included. Therefore, provide enough space for your child where it can enjoy playing soccer, tennis and various other individual and group activities.

Physical development from 4 to 6 years
At this age, running is stable and fast and with rare falls. Children can jump backwards on one foot and they find easier coordinating complex movements even when they climb on various devices and obstacles. They are able to use various seesaws, different devices, ropes, drive roller skates, etc.

With the help of physical activities, children easily accept new challenges, make new friends and learn how to set goals. They learn about their own responsibility and how to be responsible towards others also.
