How a Park or Playground Can Help Your Child Grow
Author: stadiumbleachers | Posted: 04.02.2012A park or playground is a great area to take your child for exercise and fun. With today’s advanced technology, more and more children are staying indoors to play video games or watch television and movies. This is creating a generation of overweight children who are lacking development and social learning. A park or playground can build physical, social, and cognitive skills. A playground or park can help their physical health and a whole lot more.
The most valuable thing a park can do for kids is build their physical fitness. At most local parks, you will find gym play sets. These play gyms are great for exercise and socializing. Your child can run up and down steps, climb ropes and walls, or go across monkey bars. This is great for keeping their heart rates up for fantastic health.
If you are taking your children to a park with no commercial playground, consider setting up games to play so that they can still benefit from exercising outdoors. Not all playgrounds have play sets for your kids. If this is the case at your local park, you can be creative with activity games. Bring along some of your children’s friends, and start a game of kickball, soccer, or frisbee. Tag or hide-and-go-seek are always exciting games for children. This can be a fantastic way for you to get involved and exercise yourself.
Make sure you take some safety measures for your kids. Your local school playground is not supervised by professionals, which means you will have to do the safeguarding. Young ones are especially prone to playground injuries. It is common for them to take a misstep and fall. Sometimes there are too many kids on the jungle-gym. When they are over-crowded, they become dangerous. You need to have good judgment when allowing your children on a crowded play set. You may want to consider having an emergency first-aid kit in your automobile and understanding the basic steps for emergency first-aid.
It is critical that you take an interest in your child’s physical fitness. Don’t allow your child to sit indoors in front of a screen all day. They can fully benefit from an outdoor challenge.
