Sport, Feb 28, 2021Let's Play Sports! Sports Offer More Than Just Exercise for the Body!
Research suggests that the simple act of play may protect some children from the lasting, negative effects associated with childhood trauma. Games, sports, and learning to be part of a team help children to build social skills and to foster discipline in ways that build both physical and mental strength. Playing sports is usually thought of as a way to allow younger children to “burn off steam” and to give them a chance to stay active and be healthy. However, there is an underlying impact that we too often under-estimate: the psycho-social framework that is at work when children play, whether engaging in a solo or team sport.
Sport, Feb 28, 2021Unstructured Play and Individual Sports the Stop-Gap for Organized Sport?
In every part of the world, the pandemic has forced us to restructure, rethink, and reinvent how we do life. When we think about a child’s experience, we know it doesn’t stop at missed birthday parties or adapting to virtual school. Organized youth sports have also taken a hit, raising the question of what kids have been doing while some sports programs remain cancelled and others have restarted on a limited basis. Have they returned to unstructured play or picked up some other physical activity? Answers may differ across societies or class lines, but the constant must be an opportunity for the enjoyment, physical stimulation, and emotional development they would have experienced through organized sport.
Education, Feb 28, 2021BASKETBALL
Basketball has captured the attention of athletes of all ages since it was invented in 1891 in Springfield, Massachusetts. Mr. Tommy Johnson has coached basketball for the past 20 years. He says the sport offers our youth the chance to see that there’s more out there than ‘X-Box and PlayStation’. “Young people today have so much available to them,” he says. “Social media can be good, but it can also be crushing. Being involved in basketball offers an opportunity to focus on something more.”

Education, Feb 28, 2021Blended
If you google “ideal blended family”, many images will pop up; however, one that caught my eye was of biological parents and stepparents attending a sports event for their child. While this is not an exceptional image, what is unique about it is that all the adults are wearing matching sports jerseys with their respective family title “dad” “stepmom” etc. emblazoned on the back. For many people not in a blended family, this image is often seen by them to be the ideal aspiration for blended families; sadly though, it is not the reality for many blended families.

For the average person, our image of sports therapy is limited to professional players or sports enthusiasts who consistently exercise, but this is not necessarily a complete picture. I would like to draw the attention of the individuals who generally have a love hate (on again, off again) relationship with exercise at best but desperately want to get healthy and maintain it. If you are one of those patients who plod on with determination despite your contused appendage hanging on by non-bony parts of the anatomy with no hope of winning, you will not be the focus of this article even if the information is still applicable.

As a parent, you've probably thought, 'I need a minute to breathe' too many times to count, but how often have you actually taken the time to intentionally breathe?
