Sports are a part of our lives. There are many games that are fun to both play and watch, such as soccer, tennis, swimming, and archery. Even if you aren't aiming for the Olympics or the World Cup…
Today's topic is sports.
What does sports mean for children ages 0 to 3?
Sports are wonderful.
Thanks to sports, humans have become less violent in some ways.
Imagine a world without sports.
What would all those muscular people do?
Good point.
Maria Montessori said, a child who cannot direct coordinated movement toward an intellectual purpose destroys everything.
This is because the active muscles are not connected to the mind.
Intelligence and movement must work together.
I think she means that if a child breaks things, we should channel that energy into purposeful sports.
For example, if a one or two year old throws everything, invite them to play a game of tossing balls into a basket.
She also said, sports such as tennis and football are not only about controlling the ball accurately.
They challenge us to acquire new skills we previously lacked.
And this sensation of growing abilities is the true joy of sports.
