Exercise helps prevent heart disease and diabetes; control an appropriate weight for their build, age and size; strengthen bones and muscles, among others.<\/li><li><strong>Mental health. <\/strong>It has been proven that practicing physical activity helps process emotions, improves mood, and fights depression, anxiety and stress, allowing them to focus better on their learning process.<\/li><li><strong>Recreation.<\/strong> Another advantage of practicing sports is that it is an excuse to make new friends, socialize and recreate. In addition, currently, most children only spend their time glued to screens and video games, so a sedentary lifestyle is on the agenda of the day. Practicing sports is playing, but obtaining physical benefits that promote the well-being of the little ones in the house.<\/li><\/ol><p>But, what type of daily exercise should children and adolescents do? Each person is a universe. But the important thing is that children enjoy physical activity and get some exercise every day. It can be something as simple as playing soccer or basketball, running, riding a bike.<\/p><p>Hence, it is essential to listen to our children and attend to their tastes and needs. What do you enjoy doing and why? What makes you happy? What motivated you?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-213d238 elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"213d238\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-85cbeb1\" data-id=\"85cbeb1\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7873b03 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7873b03\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Additionally, if a child practices sports on a permanent basis, they can learn about:<\/p><ul><li>Discipline and commitment.<\/li><li>Creation of good habits.<\/li><li>Responsibility and respect.<\/li><li>Teamwork.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6bf0082\" data-id=\"6bf0082\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2da2679 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2da2679\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.18.0 - 08-12-2023 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmscostarica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Espacio-Deportivo-BMS-1.webp\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Espacio-Deportivo-BMS-1\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MTE5OCwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL3d3dy5ibXNjb3N0YXJpY2EuY29tXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDIyXC8wOVwvRXNwYWNpby1EZXBvcnRpdm8tQk1TLTEud2VicCJ9\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bmscostarica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Espacio-Deportivo-BMS-1-580x380.webp\" class=\"attachment-pallikoodam-blog-i-column size-pallikoodam-blog-i-column wp-image-1198\" alt=\"deporte en el desarrollo de los ni\u00f1os\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bmscostarica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Espacio-Deportivo-BMS-1-580x380.webp 580w, https:\/\/www.bmscostarica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Espacio-Deportivo-BMS-1-420x275.webp 420w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-55e0d76 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"55e0d76\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-688f154\" data-id=\"688f154\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4818109 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4818109\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>All of this will prepare the kid to face life&#8217;s challenges in a resilient and conscious way, as well as, understand the value of effort behind our goals and objectives.<\/p><p>If you are thinking about where and how to provide the best formal and comprehensive education to your children, <a href=\"\/en\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">contact us<\/a>.
