Activities and Sports for an 8 year old?
- Thread starter Terra
- Start date
I don't think video games, ipod touch games and tv are very educational for an 8-year-old child.
And since your child is interested in war stuff, I think he might turn violent in the future.. How about teaching him musical instruments, like.. cello or guitar? (Because I heard people who play cello and guitar are less violent...)
& Since your child is little, I think active sports would be better for him than less-active sports. Such as, soccer, football, Or tennis :]

If he is wanting to find a sport he likes maybe you can take him to the park and try some out. The balls themselves are not that expensive, and if you are willing wouldn't take much time for him to know if he likes it or not. Both my boys love baseball are currently figuring if they like basketball and football. My husband and I play with them all the time.
You could also talk to your parents about getting a WII fit they have great games that make you active right in your living room.

If he has a heart condition, double check with his doctor first - although if it is well controlled it shouldn't be an issue.
But otherwise, he is fine to play whatever grabs his interest. Karate, swimming, gymnastics, soccer, baseball... there's loads of things to choose from.
