Getting children interested in exercise does not have to be complicated. The key is to make physical activity enjoyable, accessible and appropriate for their age and abilities.

Parents can start by:

• Letting children explore different sports: Give them an opportunity to discover whether they prefer football, basketball, swimming, tennis or another activity.
• Focusing on enjoyment rather than winning: Praise effort, improvement and participation instead of judging every experience by the final score.
• Creating a consistent routine: Set aside time for physical activity during the week or at weekends.
• Encouraging friendships through sports: Group activities can help children connect with others who share their interests.
• Choosing appropriate coaching: Qualified coaches can help children learn fundamental skills, follow safety guidance and progress at a suitable pace.
• Leading by example: Children may be more enthusiastic about an active lifestyle when they see parents making time for movement themselves.

Above all, avoid putting excessive pressure on children to perform. Sports should provide opportunities to learn, explore and develop, rather than become another source of anxiety.
