For truly it is to be noted, that children's plays are not sports, and should be deemed as their most serious actions.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Play is the work of children. It's very serious stuff.
It's so important for kids to get involved with sports in general at a young age.
Not every child is cut out for an individual sport.
We strongly believe that children should not be exposed to smokeless tobacco or see such products being used by their on-field sports heroes.
Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.
Kids who don't play are not just at greater risk of falling behind academically, but also of becoming overweight or obese, failing to integrate socially, and even engaging in criminal activity.
As a father, I believe that involving children in sports at a young age is generally, a wise proposition. I believe that healthy competition is... well... healthy; that sporting events foster a spirit of teamwork that far surpasses the events themselves; and that active participation keeps children moving and is good for their self-esteem.
I think we should bring up our children with much less pressure to compete and get ahead: no comparing one child with another, at home or in school; no grades. Let athletics be primarily for fun, and let them be organized by children and youths themselves.
I'm convinced that promoting sport is an intelligent way of educating our children.
Sport is an important part of the development of kids, and hence, it should be made a part of their curriculum.
