Responsible parents strive to give their child as much as possible from the first days of his life. By the middle of preschool age, the question becomes relevant additional education. Which sections for children from 3 years of age are the most useful and safe? Let's try to understand this question and find the correct answer to it.
What do sports centers and schools offer three-year-olds?
Most additional education centers offer courses in four areas to the youngest. This includes general development, arts and crafts clubs, music and dance classes, and sports sections. Most parents choose the last category. Physical activity is beneficial for every child from a very early age. At the same time, as early as three years old, you can choose the sport that best suits the character and temperament of a particular child. What are the most popular sports sections for children over 3 years old? These include light and artistic gymnastics, fitness, yoga, team sports, martial arts, swimming, choreography and a variety of dance styles. Each direction has its pros and cons, as well as distinctive features.
Artistic and rhythmic gymnastics, acrobatics
In many cities of our country there are sections artistic gymnastics, accepting children from 2 years old for training. Of course, such clubs don’t have much in common with the professional sport of the same name. Gymnastics for children from 3 years old is a section offering a program aimed at the overall development of the child’s body. Training in serious exercise usually begins no earlier than 4-5 years of age. How is the basic course useful? IN early childhood It is much easier to form beautiful posture. In addition, gymnastics helps to achieve good stretching. This sport is useful for developing plastic movements and grace.
Team sports
Football, volleyball, basketball, hockey and other team sports have a positive effect on the development of all muscle groups. Such sections for children from 3 years old will especially appeal to active kids. Team sports are also good for a child’s psyche. Constant communication with other children develops communication skills. The kid will definitely meet new friends on his team. The main task for parents is to choose sports game, corresponding to the interests and temperament of the baby. Almost all sports in this category develop agility, coordination and reaction speed.
Dancing and choreography
All children, without exception, react positively to cheerful and rhythmic melodies. Hearing the music, the child smiles, begins to play and dance. It is for this reason that dance classes for children 3 years old are extremely popular. Dancing is considered one of the least dangerous species physical activity. Classes in choreographic groups bring children incredible pleasure and a lot of positive emotions. Dance classes for children from 3 years of age develop creative thinking and help them fully master their own body language. The advantages of regular dancing classes are graceful posture, gracefulness and plasticity of movements. Any choreographic direction develops a sense of rhythm. This means that in the future it will be easier for the child to learn to play the musical instruments or singing.
Martial arts for little ones
Sports sections for children over 3 years old, based on various types of martial arts, are quite popular. Aikido, karate, wushu and other disciplines harmoniously develop all muscle groups. Don't worry about your child's safety. At the basic stages of training, special attention is paid to warm-up and dynamic exercises. Kids do not participate in fights and cannot harm themselves or each other. The benefits of such exercises are great: during the training, endurance, reaction speed, agility and flexibility develop. Such sections for children from 3 years of age are also useful for their spiritual education. Any system of martial arts teaches a child to be brave, fair and to use his own strength only when attacking.
Classes in this category are suitable for children with any type of temperament and character. Timid children can truly open up and believe in their own capabilities. Little fidgets, on the contrary, will be able to direct their energy in the right direction. Many eastern practices are also useful for developing concentration and the ability to manage one’s attention.
Swimming and other general strengthening sports
Many parents believe that choosing a specialized sport before the age of 5-6 makes no sense. This opinion holds true. But also leaving the child without physical activity and developmental activities should not be done. For the comprehensive development and strengthening of muscles, you can choose some kind of universal sports direction.
At three years old, you can enroll your child in the pool. Learning to swim is not only interesting, but also useful. This skill will definitely come in handy in adult life. Training has a positive effect on the formation of healthy posture and harmoniously develops all muscle groups. The swimming section for children over 3 years old can be attended 1-2 times a week. Some sports clubs offer joint classes for mothers and children.
How to choose your ideal section?
When choosing a sports club for a child, it is important to consider its availability. It is very convenient to visit the continuing education center, located within a 10-minute walk from your home. But regular trips to the other end of the city can tire a child quite a lot. Even the best football section for children over 3 years old will probably not appeal to your child if the journey takes more than an hour. It's a good idea to start by finding out what activities and sports clubs are available in your area. At this stage of selection, it would be a good idea to clarify the class schedules and their approximate cost.
Most likely, only a few sections will seem most convenient to you. You should choose one of them, taking into account the interests and character traits of the child. Observe which games your baby plays with the most pleasure. Already at the age of three, you can notice that one child prefers to dance and have fun, while the other picks up a ball whenever possible. Active kids will benefit from moving ones team events sports and dancing. It makes sense for calm children to try swimming and martial arts.
Physical development without harm to the psyche and health!
Is it too early to send your child to sports at three years old? According to early development experts, this age is ideal to start attending additional classes. The most important thing is not to make a mistake when choosing a specific center and to correctly organize the order of visiting it. Almost all clubs and sections for children 3 years old offer 1-2 classes per week. Make sure your baby doesn't overexert himself. If your child goes to kindergarten, on days when visiting the sports section, it makes sense to pick him up early. Do not plan any additional recreational activities on the day of your workout. If you feel unwell or noticeably tired, it is better to skip classes. Young athletes should receive exclusively positive emotions while visiting the sports center.
If a child does not want to go to training, there is no point in forcing him. It makes sense to think about moving to another section. At three years old, a child is still too young to attend more than 2-3 different clubs. Don’t try to keep him busy “all at once”; it’s better to devote time to one or at most two areas. A big mistake parents make is to force their child to fulfill his own dreams. If your child doesn't enjoy playing your favorite sport, let him make his own choice. It is quite possible that the first section will become the baby’s favorite hobby for the rest of his life. Now you know that you can start organized sports activities as soon as your child turns 3 years old. Which section to send your baby to is up to you to decide.
Caring parents, as the child grows, begin to think about the additional development of their baby. The best time to introduce a child to children's clubs or sections is from the age of 3 years.
The fact is that by the age of 3, the baby already becomes quite independent, active and shows great interest in expanding his knowledge about the world around him. Therefore, you can safely start choosing a suitable circle. But finding the optimal section for a child is a rather difficult task. After all, today there is a huge selection of all kinds of children's clubs from 3 years old. The baby himself is still too young to make an independent choice.
Activities for 3 year olds – how not to go wrong?
Very often, parents impose their preferences, without taking into account the child’s opinions and capabilities. Not every child is obliged to become a great athlete, singer or musician by obeying the will of their parents. The main task is to help identify hidden possibilities and talents of the baby, give minutes of interesting and useful leisure. This is not so easy to do, and it will take more than one year to find a suitable section. Therefore, do not be afraid to experiment with different options.
To understand what a child’s soul is about, watch him carefully. What does your child like most – active leisure time or leisurely, painstaking work? Go to the children's art house - let your child see with his own eyes the different options for sections. Perhaps he will want to independently choose a section that is interesting for himself. It doesn't matter if he changes his mind after a while.
When choosing a suitable circle for a 3-year-old child, it is also important to take into account the general physical condition of the baby. Take into account individual psychophysiological characteristics.
So, the child is already 3 years old - where should we send him? Let's consider the main options for children's sections adapted to a given age.
Sport sectionsAs a rule, children are very active and love active pastime. Therefore, any will give the child many joyful moments and strengthen the baby’s health.
Playing sports will help you gradually develop such useful character qualities as endurance, willpower, and perseverance. But before you send your baby to the section, you should definitely show him to the doctor. It is important to make sure that there are no contraindications to certain types of upcoming physical activity.
At the age of 3–4 years, it is necessary to develop all muscle groups in a child. Therefore, swimming, wushu gymnastics, etc. sections are perfect. In addition, gymnastics will help develop flexibility and good coordination.
Among the popular sports clubs For girls it is worth noting aerobics and figure skating. Also, the young ladies of the section will not leave indifferent synchronized swimming or water aerobics. Movement to music develops a sense of rhythm and improves coordination of movements.
There are also many interesting sports clubs for boys from 3 years old. You can try to be like martial arts. At an early age, aikido or wushu is best. Aikido classes will help not only strengthen physical health, but they will also give you confidence and teach you the ability to stand up for yourself in an emergency situation.
