The benefits of sport

 

Organized sports can help children grow in many ways. Football fencing, sports provide opportunities for children to learn and master the skills, working with his teammates and coaches, and challenge themselves in a safe environment. They learn the value of practice and the challenge of competition. And on top of all this, sports offer natural and fun for children who exercise regularly opportunities.

 

But before you sign the kids to the sport, parents should take into account the personality and developmental level of the child to make sure of being involved in sport is a positive experience for everyone.

When children should start doing sport?

When thinking about signing kids in sports, consider how emotionally and physically ready to participate. Early registration can also be frustrating for everyone and can turn children of this sport forever.

Although there are sports programs for preschoolers, it is not until 6 or 7 years that most children develop the appropriate physical skills or attention required to listen to instructions and understand the rules of the game. Even preschoolers can start and run, it usually takes some time before it can coordinate the two skills. And usually is not until kindergarten or first grade children understand concepts like "twists" that are crucial to many sports.

This does not mean that children can not play sports when they are young. Sport can be fun for children and kindergarten, but should be less competition and have more fun opportunities to be active. Therefore, even if the children accidentally scoring for the other team or spend all hunting butterflies as they like, that's fine.

 

If you choose to sign his five years by a team, be sure to choose an alloy that focuses on fun and basic skills.

Choosing the Right Sport

If children show interest in a sport, let them try. You may be worried that your child will suffer, especially in a contact sport like football, tigerwoods but since coach asks players to use the proper safety equipment, the doctor is good it is, and that their child is paired with other children of the same size and capacity, below.

Toca Kitchen 2

Overview

Give your kids control of the kitchen with Toca Kitchen 2. In the no rules, stress-free environment, kids get to decide what’s for dinner. Be prepared for some zany concoctions. As kids cook, they can mix a variety of different ingredients to create their own unique meals. Want to make a smoothie with steak and tomato? Add hot sauce to a pear? It’s all possible in the free-range Toca Kitchen and the three patrons in the app are willing to try it all, although their faces will show that they won’t always enjoy it.

  • A fridge full of food
  • Three characters to feed
  • Five different kitchen tools
  • Vegetarian setting

Quality

Quality and Toca Boca go hand in hand and Toca Kitchen 2 doesn’t disappoint. Its characters and graphics feature the same style and feel as many of kids’ other favorite Toca Boca apps. While the app promotes no rules and stress-free play, it could use a few more identifiers to make it easier for kids to use. For example, some kids may have trouble discovering the fridge on the side of the screen or may not recognize some of the tools in the kitchen. Adding a more defined handle for the fridge or placing the grill pan on the burner will help improve the game a bit.

Education

This app is not being rated for education.

Entertainment

Kids can combine any of the ingredients in the fridge and cook them however they want to come up with zany concoctions. They’ll love trying to feed their foods to the characters in the game and see their reactions. To get even better reactions, add a lot of hot sauce or pepper to a dish. Even though kids can combine a lot of different foods, with only five different cooking methods, the game’s play feels a little limited. Once kids have used each of the tools and have cooked with a few different foods, the game starts to loose a bit of its appeal. They may return to it briefly now and again, but it’s not an app that will hold their attention for long periods of time.

Value

Toca Kitchen 2 is worth adding to your collection, particularly if you’re a Toca Boca fan, but if your kids already have other cooking apps on their device, it may not be worth the download. Kids do have a bit more freedom in the kitchen than with some other apps, but overall it has the same feel as many other cooking apps for kids.

Child Friendliness

The app’s settings are contained outside of the app, in Apple’s settings screen. There, parents can opt whether to receive Toca News. They can also select to turn on the vegetarian setting which will only allow kids to cook with fruits and vegetables instead of meat. Parents can also view the in-app parents section which outlines the different tools and highlights the freedom kids have in the Toca kitchen. However, to read the information in the parent section, the device must be connected to the Internet.

Zuzu’s Bananas: A Monkey Preschool Game

Overview

Kids will go bananas over the learning games found in Zuzu’s Bananas, an app in the Monkey Preschool family. This high energy app focuses on fun while helping young kids build some basic skills. They’ll get to make baskets and kick goals, match objects, and complete nearly 50 different activities. Best of all, after collecting enough bananas, kids get to unlock the banana dance. After taking a short banana dance break, however, they can jump right back into the games and learn about helping, sharing, matching, and building fine motor skills at the same time.

  • Progressive levels of difficulty
  • 50 different activities
  • Bright colors and fun sound effects
  • Rewards for completing activities

Quality

Fun animations and zany sound effects fill this exciting preschool app. Kids will find it easy to navigate and fairly easy to play. However, the frantic pace at which the app moves lowers it quality score a bit. Kids must complete each activity within a specific time frame and as soon as the time is up, the app jumps right into the next activity. Aside from a banana dance party every few activities, there isn’t a lot of time for kids to stop and catch their breath which can become very frustrating and make it hard to follow the games. Parents can adjust the timer speed or even turn it off for some of the games, but that doesn’t account for the lack of time between each activity.

Education

More subtly educational than some other Monkey Preschool apps, Zuzu’s Bananas still has some good lessons built in. For example, kids must match baby animals with their mothers, find matches on a puzzle, and match animals with the food they eat. They must also share by passing carrots between two bunnies, learn to help by getting a train over a hill, and just developing other key motor skills by popping, catching, kicking, and completing other tasks within the game. While the simplicity of some of the activities may make seem like it’s designed more for toddlers, the time limit makes it ideal for preschoolers and kindergarteners. Many of the activities are actually pretty challenging when you consider kids have to think quickly to get them done. The Knack option in the parent section allows the game to adjust levels to help make the games more or less challenging for kids based on their performance.

Entertainment

While the educational components may be a little more subtle, the entertainment components are not. From the variety of activities to the frantic pace at which kids must complete the activities before time runs out, the game encourages kids to keep playing. They’re rewarded with bananas and, after a series of activities, a short banana dance break that will surely have them bopping along to the beat.

Value

Zuzu’s Bananas comes with a large selection of games and proves to be a lot of fun for kids. If they’re fans of other Monkey Preschool apps they’ll definitely enjoy this one as it incorporates some of the same characters and similar ideas in the format of the games, even though it’s less educational.

Child Friendliness

On the main screen of the app, kids will see a small square advertising more developer apps and a “for grownups” section. Both sections are contained within protected areas. In the grown ups area, parents can adjust the settings (turn the timer off or slow it down and turn the knack option on or off), access social media, and sign up for the developer’s e-mail list. Kids will be most attracted to the giant play button and get started with the activities right away. They have to pay attention from the beginning though because the game moves fast.

Time Tangle-Adventure Time

Download on the App Store

Overview

Time Tangle-Adventure Time is a fun free play app that children will love, especially if they are fond of the Adventure Time characters. This adventurous app takes players on a journey to fix the time tangle issue by chasing down villains, punching things, and collecting coins and other rewards. With a random quest generator, players are able to play this open ended game for hours.

  • Random quest generator
  • Free play runner game
  • Simple interface

Quality

Time Tangle-Adventure Time is a fairly simple to use runner game that fans of Adventure Time will love. The developers have done a nice job creating an app that is easy for children to play by simply tilting their device, and touching the screen to jump and punch. While the visuals aren’t crystal clear, they do the job and the added sound effects make for a fun, good quality app.

Education

Not rated for education.

Entertainment

The object of the game is to fix time by hitting and punching bad guys, saving friends, and collect coins and other rewards to help restore order. The joy of this free-play app is that there is a random quest generator that dictates what the object of each quest is and adds a bit of surprise and interest to the game. With a gallery of achievements, friends, & villains, players can keep track of the encounters they have made in the game as they play. With so many villains to defeat and objectives to complete, this app is one children will be able to enjoy for hours.

Value

Priced at just under three dollars, this app isn’t one that will break the bank and parents will definitely appreciate that. The free play set up also allows children to make the most of this runner game as they play for hours on end at a really great price. Overall, this is a good value.

Child Friendliness

While this app is set up specifically for children who love Adventure Time, parents may want to know there is some crude humor including ‘buns’ etc. along with some violence with hitting and punching as the name of the game. Parents may decide this app is not the best idea for young children. The set up of the game is fairly easy to follow with a simple ‘intro’ video and trial option that introduces players to how to play the app.

Introducing Your Baby to New Fruits and Vegetables

When your baby has mastered the very fine purees and simple flavors most often introduced as the first solid foods, it's time to start incorporating new flavors into your baby's diet. When your baby starts to enjoy more variety, it's time to think outside of the box. Get beyond the typical apples and bananas and offer your baby some different and often overlooked fruits and vegetables that offer up tons of nutrition and plenty of flavor.

Avocados. Avocados are an excellent early food for babies. They have a silky, smooth texture that only requires fork mashing, rather than real pureeing. The mild flavor is very often a hit with babies, and avocados are loaded with the good fat that babies need.

Kiwi. Kiwi also has a naturally soft texture so it is easy to mash to the correct consistency for your baby. While kiwis may be a little sour for your baby at first, they are a wonderful source of vitamin C.

Melons. Melons such as cantaloupe, honeydew, and watermelon are great fruits for your baby to try. Again, they have a naturally soft texture so they are easy to chew. Cantaloupe is packed with vitamins A and C. Honeydew is also a great source of vitamin C and watermelon has lycopene, vitamin C, and vitamin A.

Cherries. Bing cherries, chopped into tiny pieces, are another great fruit for your baby to try. Cherries provide vitamin C and potassium.

Broccoli. Because of the naturally firm texture of broccoli, it is sometimes overlooked as a baby food. Removing the florets and chopping them finely, however, makes broccoli a great vegetable to mix in with another puree such as carrots. Broccoli is a nutritional powerhouse providing vitamin C, fiber, iron, calcium, potassium, and folate. The gassiness that broccoli often gives adults, typically does not translate to babies.

Spinach. Spinach can be pureed alone or mixed with other purees. Because it has a rather strong flavor, your baby may like it better when mixed with something else. Spinach is packed with nutrients including Vitamin A, C, magnesium, folate, and iron.

Summer Squash. Your baby probably already likes butternut or acorn squash, but what about yellow summer squash? This vegetable provides vitamin C and has a mild flavor that many babies love. Just make sure you leave the skin on and chop it very finely.

Corn. Corn too is often overlooked as a vegetable because it is sometimes considered to be a grain. But with vitamin C and fiber, and a naturally sweet taste, corn can be a nice addition to your baby's diet. Be sure your baby is accustomed to chewing before trying smashed corn kernels.

Tomatoes. Tomatoes are acidic so make sure your baby is a little older (8 or 9 months) before incorporating tomatoes into his diet. Chopped tomato makes a great finger food. Tomatoes are full of lycopene, vitamins A and C, and potassium.

When feeding your baby make sure you consider all that your grocery store produce section has to offer, not just the same old fruits and vegetables. Introducing your baby to plenty of new flavors from a young age will help her to be open to new foods for a lifetime, and will give her the ultimate in good nutrition.
