SPORTS AND GAMES

Physical development is at least as important as mental and spiritual. Many intelligent and capable adults don’t do well in life, due to chronic ailments, laziness and an inability to work for long hours. A robust and fit person is always more productive and achieves more.

In the early ages, muscular and motor development is correlated to other areas as well. For example, the rocking of a child in his mother’s arm stimulates the cochlea, improves hearing and prepares the child for reading skills. Similarly, finger exercise prepares the child for writing, and so on.
