Promoting your children's sports spirit
I have rescued a pic which was taken more than 2 years ago.
It was a race, but not individual, it was a race together with my son...
My son, who at that less than 5 years old still remember the event... I think we finished very well, between the 5 first positions out of 30 or so... to tell you the truth, that day my son flew over the ground pulled by myself ;-)
It makes me think a lot about how important can be for our children's education to ensure a good transmittal of values, culture, good manners and knowledge...
As a father I feel as the education of my children is the most important project of my life...and main responsibility.
Transmitting my love for nature, sports, culture, friendship and family and so sharing with my children as much time as possible is the main way to ensure a strong bunch of values and education which will be useful for them to survive in this changing crazy world on which we all live.
I guess I'm not doing so bad till now, hope I will do it well in the coming years...
Have a good day!
good job eddie, the school is your second home, and home your first school, sentence that many parents miss
perfect statement
nice!! I think like you, that the education of the children has to be the most important Project of their parents and you are doing it great!!
Wonderful picture enjoying your time together ^^ in the future you will have a great companion to go and run with you!!
hopefully, thanks @punxi ximeta
We do well to get our kid out of his room and away from electronics...have tried to promote interest in things like running and sports but he just has no interest. He's done a couple of short races (8 years old) but still has little interest.
I'm hoping that will change at some point in the future. Too many kids in the U.S. are so sedentary and addicted to their electronic devices and it's getting to be a serious problem. Those devices are as addictive to young brains as cocaine is to anyone, or so I've read...
Yes, that’s the current reality now...
Nevertheless we have to be persistent on that aim...That seed will grow inside them for the future, I’m sure about
Yeah we as parents just have to be persistent and instead of being the kid’s friend we must be parents if they are to grow up and be successful adults. I see so many people who bend over backwards to please their kids and they’re really just doing themselves and the kids a disservice.
Sometimes you just have to put your foot down and be the bad guy. I do it semi frequently and I don’t enjoy it but it’s necessary and for the greater good so....sometimes I just have to be the bad guy and know that the kid will thank me for it later in life.
Hahaha! Yeah, don’t tell me...
My daughter is almost 12...you can imagine how often I have to behave as the bad guy now
Hugs
Oh lord...I've read statistics that teens and pre teens spend as much or more time on their devices than most adults do at work (more than 8 hours a day).
You definitely have your work cut out for you having a teenage girl...Best of luck to you fried.
hugs back at ya! :)
When kids get Pokemon GO, then they don't stop walking for about a week :D
I ve seen last year some kidos running around all day, and one of them was saying to his friends: "how long we will keep walking, as my legs already falling off" lol.
Smart way combining technology + gaming + sport (being outdoors at least).
hahhahha! well, despite Pokemon GO is a way to do some exercise, I don't think it will "educate" them as I was referring to
Thanks for the comment
Yes I was just giving example "of these days youth and technology" lol.
I completely understand you, I have been doing sports for all my life: from basketball, to running, then karate, then fitness. And I can tell without doubt: those were very good moments. If I would have more time in a day, I would excersice 1-2 hrs every single day.
Did you miss your run? It's not too late... go and run!
