Foreword: Toddlers and Sports

The life of a toddler is based on the activities of the toddler. The types of play in life are, of course, physical, intellectual, social or self-expressive, and are all elements of physical activity.

In the garden, we have found that those children who like to do sports games as well as gymnastics activities are really agile, have more friends, have more positive personalities, are more emotionally sensitive, and like to participate in and be able to be around all kinds of actions in the activities.

From the elegance of physical movement, one can understand the richness of life, the agility, the power of coordination and balance, the power to stimulate action, the certainty of action is most valuable, and the activity and strength, etc. are the basis of action.

Movement is a human instinct and an expression of oneself. In early childhood, the instincts of movement and the ability to move are satisfied, and the ability to realize and move clearly, and to give the environment and the response that the self needs, so that the ability to adapt to various kinds of movement and life will give strength and speed. Practical experience shows us that these children who love sports and play sports games can have a variety of experiences, and that the requirement of correct movement from sports games is also a self-requirement for the child to do things correctly in the future.

When we see teachers happily exercising with their children, it is a very happy picture, not only the teachers can be healthier and have a more standardized body, but also the children can be motivated to do physical fitness games. This is also the root cause of the physical development of the children, which has a great influence on the growth of the children.

A person is blessed to have such a teacher when he is in his early childhood.
