Important Reasons Why Children Should Take up Sports skills. Children learn to respect those in authority, even when they don't agree with them, as they see their skills developing and improving. This way sports introduce a new authority figure for chtldren, besides parents and teachers, who can help them in their healthy development. Developing persistence, dedication, and patience Through competition, children can develop the motivation to improve and avoid defeat. By working hard at every practice and staying focused on their goal, children build persistence and learn the importance of pa tience, and in the end, realize that hard work pays off. This translates to life in general - setting out to accomplish something requires dedication and persistence over a long period of time. There is some evidence that long-term commitment to sports has a positive impact on children's be havwr in the classroom [21. They tend to apply the same principles of dedication, persistence, and patience they learn through sports to the school environment. Everythmg mentioned above, such as interactions with peers, dedication to training, and practicing teamwork translates into the classroom. In this sense, sports are able to advance the educational aspirations of children and create pathways to educational success [31. Developing self-esteem Participation in sports can be beneficial for children's self-esteem and confidence even though they might not necessarily be good at it. Words of praise from coaches for successfully finishing a workout or winning a game, high-fives from teammates after a great team action, or just having something of their own that helps them build their own identity ('Tm a tennis player") - are all ways of building trust in their own abilities and developing a feeling of confidence. On the other hand, it is impor tant for children to focus on how much they enjoy playing a particular sport, and not whether they'll win or lose a game. If they 15ecome overly competitive and their self-esteem only depends on winning, they risk losing self-confidence. Because of this, parents have an important role in encouraging children to play sports for fun and enjoyment, and not necessarily Tor winning every single game. After all, when are you going to have fun if not during your childhood? Of course, physical activity also benefits the body and overall health, so it's not surprising that one study found that girls who played sports reported greater acceptance of their body image l4l.

Discover Why Kids Need as Much as We Do
Yoga
oga presented in a child's language can help counter the stress experienced by little ones living in a hurry-up world. Learn the benefits of teaching yoga for kids. (Want to join a kids yoga teacher training? Join our three-day program at Yoga Journal LIVE New York, April 21-23. Sign up today.) Our children live in a hurry-up world of busy parents, school pressures, incessant lessons, video games,. malls, and competitive sports. We usually don't think of these influences as stressful for our kids, but often they are. The bustling pace of our children's lives can have a profound effect on their innate joy-and usu ally not for the better. I have found that yoga can help counter these pressures. When children learn techniques for self-health, relaxation, and inner fulfillment, they can navigate life's challenges with a little more ease. Yoga at an early age encourages self-esteem and body awareness with a physical activity that's noncompetitive. Fostering cooperation and compassion-instead of opposition-is a great gift to give our children. Children derive enormous benefits from yoga. Physically, it enhances their flexibility, strength, coordination, and body awareness. In add11ton, their concentration and sense of calmness and relaxation improves. Doing yoga, children exercise, play, connect more deeply with the inner self, and develop an intimate relationship with the natural world that surrounds them. Yoga brings that marvelous inner light that all children have to the surface. When yogis developed the asanas many thousands of years ago, they still lived close to _the natural world and used animals and plants for msp1ratton-the sting of a scorpion, the grace of a swan, the grounded stature of a tree. When children imitate the movements and sounds of nature, they have a chance to get inside another being and imagine taking on its qualities. When they assume the pose of the lion (Simhasana) for example, they experience not only the power and behavior of the lion, but also their own sense of power: when to be aggressive, when to retreat. The physical movements introduce kids to yoga's true meaning: union, expression, and honor for oneself and one's part in the delicate web of life.

All that's needed is a little flexibility on the adult's part because, as I quickly found out when I first started teaching the practice to preschoolers, yoga for children is quite different than yoga for adults. Six years ago, I had my first experience teaching yoga to kids at a local Montessori school. I looked forward

to the opportunity with confidence-after all, I'd been teaching yoga to adults for quite a while, had two young children of my own, and had taught creattve writing for several years in various Los Angeles schools. But after two classes with a group of 3 to 6-year-olds, I had to seriously reevaluate my approach. I needed to learn to let go (the very practice I had been preaching for years) of my agenda and my expectations of what yoga is and is not. When I began to honor the children's innate intelligence and tune in to how they were instructing me to instruct them, we began to co-create our class es. we used the yoga asanas as a springboard for ex ploration of many other areas-animal adaptations and behavior. music and playing instruments, storytelling, drawing-and our time together became a truly interdisciplinary approach to learning. Together we wove stories with our bodies and minds in a flow that could only happen in child's play. The kids began to call me Mrs. Yoga, and I called them Yoga Kids. We continued to work and play together until our creations bloomed into a program called YogaKids. The program combines yogic techniques designed especially for children using Dr. Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences. Gardner. an author and professor of education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, describes eight intelligences innate in all of us-linguistic, logical, visual, musical, kinesthetic, naturalistic, interpersonal, and intrapersonal-and emphasizes that children should be given the opportunity to develop and embody as many of these as possible. In keeping with this theory, YogaKids integrates storytelling, games, music, language, and other arts into a complete curriculum that engages the "whole child." we employ ecology, anatomy, nutrition, and life lessons that echo yogic principles of interdependence, oneness, and fun. Most of all, our program engages the entire mind, body, and spirit in a way that honors all the ways children learn.

The greatest challenge with children is to hold their attention long enough to teach them the benefits of yoga: stillness, balance, flexibility, focus, peace, grace, connection, health, and well-being. Luckily, most children love to talk, and they love to move-both of which can happen in yoga. Children will jump at the chance to assume the role of animals, trees, flowers, warriors. Your role is to step back and allow them to bark in the Dog Pose, hiss in the cobra, and meow in cat stretch. They can also recite the ABCs or 123s as they are holding poses. Sound is a great release for children and adds an auditory dimension to the physical experience of yoga. Children need to discover the world on their own.

9 Style Tips for Women in Business Happy Monday, ladies. Let's kickstart the week with another installment of business advice. First, let's make sure you're all caught up on the other two recent business articles: (1) 6 Biggest Mistakes Women Make in Business, and (2) 7 Ways to Develop Confidence in Business.
Today, we are diving into an issue that is critical for women in business. The "what to wear to work" dilemma is one many of us business women face. How we handle this will impact how others view us. As I mentioned here, one of the top five pieces of advice I give to young girls whom I mentor is this: Dress for the job you want, not the job you have. Let that sink in. You've heard the phrase "put your best foot forward". Well, let's talk about how we can put our best physical self forward in a business setting. The onus is on us to present ourselves as professional, respectable, and powerful. Whether we like it or not, appearances do matter. They are the first impression people get of us, so let's craft our ap pearance to give off the right impression. Clearly, qualities like work ethic, competency, and professionalism matter immensely. But also people do, in fact, take cues about who we are and our aspirations in the work place from how we present ourselves. Think of how you dress as an aspect of personal branding. Note that I come at this subject from the perspective of a very traditional corporate office environment. If you work in a more creative, artistic, or relaxed environment, you might have a bit more leeway with your work uniform. But some basic principles still apply. So, let's address how to dress for success...
