[quote=Anonymous]I once read a study that said that young kids get much less exercise at PE class than at recess, and at least for my active boys I believed that. I am a big believer in sports for kids, but my super active 4 year old was much better at meeting his own sensory needs than a coach who was managing a group. Instead of lessons at that age we got a pass to the county indoor pool, we went to the playground, we went to the trampoline park, we went on hikes as a family. Once he had a few months of Kindergarten under his belt, we added soccer with his classmates, but at 4 we really focused on things that were kid directed. If I wanted a break, and was looking for a sport for that reason, hiring a teenage boy babysitter to wear him out would have worked better than organized sports. I should add that that super active little boy now plays 2 sports at a high level in high school. So, I'm not anti sports. I'm just skeptical about sports at 4. [/quote]
