Is Your Son or Daughter Getting Enough Exercise?
Too many of our kids in Texarkana don’t get enough physical exercise.
The schools have cut way back on PE and even the amount of exercise that they get in the classes that still exist. The standards of fitness continue to degrade over time.
Kids find themselves on computers, phones, and video games more and more.
They’re not nearly as active as kids once were…
This inactivity leads to so many problems.
The most obvious is obesity and becoming overweight, but there are many more.
Being overweight dramatically effects their self esteem and their confidence.
This results in them giving up on themselves easier and often not even attempting to do challenging things.
Kids are developing type 2 diabetes and other health problems.
These problems will cause them huge issues as they grow up.
They don’t develop normal muscular strength and postural muscles that keep them upright.
This dramatically increases their risks of injury, both now and later in life.
They’ll be more likely to develop pain and have difficulty doing physical tasks.
The lack of physical activity results in a loss of normal brain development because movement is it’s primary driver of a child’s brain development… and one that’s far more important than most realize.
This leads to developmental delays, problems with focus (like what you may see in ADD/ADHD), social awkwardness, depression, and anxiety.
Too many kids are not realizing their full potential, just because of inactivity and/or reduced activity… and it’s probably going to get worse.
It’s so important to get your child active and keep them active.
It helps to find an activity like Jiu Jitsu that they really enjoy and can do year round so that they don’t have months of inactivity between seasons.
If you are a Texarkana parent that is concerned about any of these issues, we can help.
Give us a call at 903-793-1085 or email us at TexarkanaJiuJitsu@gmail.com to set up a time to try a no risk, free class.
We really look forward to hearing from you and helping your child get more active and achieve more both on and off the mat.
