Steemit Weekly Health Challenge # 8 :Releasing stress in the family

Hello friends, again in the emotion of this contest, I found it interesting to share this form as I release the stres, as a family, exercising with my nephews and teaching them from an early age the importance of physical activity for physical and mental health.

It is the ideal time in childhood to instill healthy habits in our children. If they normalize physical activity as a family, they will most likely be lifelong athletes.

Nothing truer than 'healthy mind in healthy body'. A premise that is strengthened in the first years of life, when the cognitive and physical-social development of children advances by leaps and bounds. At this point supports are requiredas recreation, play and exercise to energize that integral growth.

In early childhood (0 to 6 years), the promoters of exercise, or physical activity, undoubtedly are the parents, family or caregivers of children, who take them to spaces conducive to initiate contact with healthy practices .

Likewise, the parents and the family are integrated around the infants and focus on the use of free time, as explained by Diana Duque Giraldo, National Coordinator of Recreation in Early Childhood of Coldeportes: "in the case of these children, all his time is free and he should be pleasant and open to experiences. "

Here I present the special way to relax and at the same time share with family, and instill physical activity to my nephews.

"Better all together '

If it is a matter of taking all the advantage possible to carry out any type of activity in the first years of life, nothing more positive than doing it as a family.

The practice of any physical activity or sport is, for the whole family, an opportunity to share, taking advantage of difficult moments to achieve, given the work and academic commitments of parents and children in modern society."

Among the benefits of these practices are the prevention of diseases, the social interaction of children and adults, and the expansion of skills and abilities in children, essential in their processes of comprehensive education.

"Active and healthy parents tend to have children with the same habits, which can last until adulthood. Additionally, in young children the bond that is generated with their parents during the interaction strengthens the relationship of father-mother and children. "In this case, they are my nephews, but it strengthens the interaction and frees us of stress.

"With recreation and family physical activity, processes of socialization, fun of assertive communication and physical development are opened. That is, they are linked from the biological to the social, since recreation allows us to socialize and communicate. "

Tips: Make sure that these days of physical activity have continuity and a frequency that allows to form routines. Do warm-up and stretching exercises at all times.

Whatever sport or physical activity you want to share with your children, the important thing is that the whole family is integrated and guides the little ones, because that is where the example is born in the formation of healthy routines. Remember that children tend to imitate, and what better than good.
