Extracurriculars make kids more attentive
Regular, structured extra-curricular sports help children develop self-regulation and stay focused in the classroom as they grow up, says a study. \"By the time they reached the fourth grade, kids who played structured sports were identifiably better at following instructions and remaining focused in the classroom,\" said lead researcher Linda Pagani from the University of Montreal.
Hyderabad: Regular, structured extra-curricular sports help children develop self-regulation and stay focused in the classroom as they grow up, says a study. "By the time they reached the fourth grade, kids who played structured sports were identifiably better at following instructions and remaining focused in the classroom," said lead researcher Linda Pagani from the University of Montreal.
"There is something specific to the sporting environment - perhaps the unique sense of belonging to a team to a special group with a common goal - that appears to help kids understand the importance of respecting the rules and honoring responsibilities," Pagani said.
The researchers reviewed the data on 2,694 children who were born in Quebec, Canada between 1997 and 1998. "We found that those children who were specifically involved in team sports at kindergarten scored higher in self-regulation by time they reached fourth-grade."
