One of these is sure to relate to their physical activities or sports. Are you concerned about your child making it through this time safely, both physically and emotionally? What physical activities or sport situations do you want your pre-school or school-aged child to participate in so that they remain happy and physically safe? This book brings to your attention many of the physical activity choices at each phase of your child's growth, along with "sub-choices." Among the many topics to consider are location/climate, school Physical Education, sport specialization, home-schooling, parental involvement, and your own physical ability (or lack thereof...not all of us are capable).
