It is important for parents and teachers to encourage physical development for school-age children.

Kids Health from Nemours states that children should partake in at least 60 minutes of moderate to
vigorous exercise most days of the week. The 60 minutes can be broken up into 15- or 30-minute
intervals and should include planned and unstructured activities. Team sports at school offer a way
for children to exercise, but any physical activity will benefit her health and encourage her skills.
