As their children grow up Filip Helander Sverige Tröja , every set of parents has a different idea as to what should be the main focus of their upbringing and how they should spend their free time, especially when it comes to extra curricular activities. Some parents place a huge emphasis on academics and want their children doing extra reading or working with a tutor. Other parents are heavily into sports and want their children to focus on sports. Some parents simply want their children to be children and don?t push them in any particular direction at all.

In most cases, schools give children at least some opportunity to participate in a team sport. Along with the team sports that are taught during physical education classes, there are usually a few varsity sports teams that will represent the school while competing against other schools in the area. In addition to this, most communities have a few organized sports leagues that children can be active in.

In my opinion Alexander Fransson Sverige Tröja , participation in team sports is vital to healthy social, physical and emotional development. Participating in a sports team exposes children to a range of challenges in a team environment where they are forced to work with others, rely on others at times and also to encourage or root for others on their team. All of this leads to the development of a cooperative mindset. Now although all of this sounds ideal, I am aware that it does not always work out this way. Some times a child might be a ?ball hog? and refuse to pass the ball, or want to score all of the goals themselves. But with time Karl-Johan Johnsson Sverige Tröja , even this child learns at some point that they must work with others if they want to see true success.

Some kids just love sports and have a natural tendency towards them. There is very little that a parent could do to stop a child like this from participating in sports. Other children are quite nonchalant about sports, and some children even hate sports. A variety of factors can influence the way that children feel about sports. Sometimes they are shy or insecure about the abilities yet with a little encouragement they will get out there and do fine. At times, a child may have a physical attribute that they are conscious or overly conscious about that stops them from doing a sporting activity they would love. I encourage parents to find at least one team sport that their children can become involved in. Not all team sports have to be high impact activities or ?popular? sports. A swim team is great for a child that is not boisterous or overly physical. Some schools have sailing as an extra curricular activity which again falls outside of the typical team sport.

I believe that team sports teach children not only how to compete, but how to compete fairly within structured boundaries. This is an important life lesson and the skills and the disciplines that they learn in sports will definitely last them a lifetime. Team sports will teach children how to communicate, since most team sports require children not only to talk to each other while the activity is taking place but also how to plan strategies for an upcoming event and how to debrief or review things that have happened in a game. Perhaps most importantly John Guidetti Sverige Tröja , team sports teach children how to succeed and how to fail since inevitably throughout each season of their sport their team will do both. With every win and loss, children learn coping skills. These again are important skills to develop in a child and they will last them throughout life.

China's Tomb Sweeping Day is a time for people to cherish the memory of their deceased loved ones and recall the past.

People are celebrating the festival in novel ways to help them think about where they have come from and where they will go.

A GREENER FESTIVAL

Tomb Sweeping Day, which falls on April 4 this year, is a time for Chinese people to mourn the dead and worship their ancestors by visiting tombs and making offerings. Traditionally Marcus Berg Sverige Tröja , the tributes involve burning incense and paper money.

However, as air pollution has plagued many Chinese cities in recent years, some cities have come up with measures to make the festival greener.

Before Tomb Sweeping Day, the city of Harbin, capital of northeast China's Heilongjiang Province Gustav Svensson Sverige Tröja , issued a statement to ban the production and sale of paper money. People made offerings of flowers and aeolian bells instead when visiting tombs.

A funeral parlor in Harbin has set up a special booth for people to whisper to their deceased family members during the three-day holiday.

The Harbin funeral affairs management station established an online platform on messaging app Wechat for citizens to take part in online memorial activities such as offering flowers, lighting candles and writing articles to remember deceased family members, friends and ancestors.

During Tomb Sweeping Day, south China's Hainan Province launched a campaign in 10 cemeteries to exchange visitors' paper money for flowers.

In cemeteries in the cities of Haikou and Sanya, volunteers helped visitors fetch fresh flowers and took their paper money.

"It is a good Sebastian Larsson Sverige Tröja , environmentally friendly and green idea. I will try it this time," said a tomb visitor, surnamed Zhang, in Sanya.

A DAY FOR REFLECTION

Many believe Tomb Sweeping Day is a day for reflection, allowing them to look back on their past and think of what they can improve in the future.

A memorial for extinct animals has tapped into this sentiment. The memorial was held Tuesday in a wild animal park in northwest China's Qinghai Province. Volunteers said they hope to raise people's awareness of an.
