How can I encourage my child to join a sport?

I'm worried my child isn't active enough. How can I encourage them to join a sport?

It's great that you want to encourage your child! Have you considered discussing their interests and what sports they might enjoy?

They love being outdoors but are shy about joining teams.

You could start by introducing them to a sport that has a more relaxed environment, like a community soccer league or a local hiking group.

That sounds good! How can I help them feel more comfortable?

Try attending a few practices together or inviting a friend to join. Familiar faces can make a big difference!

What if they still don't want to join?

It's important to respect their feelings. Encourage them to try different activities until they find something they love.
