“One tree does not make a forest, but three trees together make a high mountain.” This Vietnamese proverb perfectly captures the spirit of collective movement among preschoolers. Physical exercises not only help children develop physically but also cultivate cooperation, communication, and sharing skills. Let’s explore the colorful world of movement for young children! Trang An Kindergarten in Ninh Binh is a prime example of prioritizing physical development for children.
Golden Benefits of Physical Exercise for Preschoolers
Movement is like breathing for a child’s development. Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan Huong, a preschool education expert with over 20 years of experience, emphasized the importance of physical exercise for children’s holistic development in her book “Nurturing Children with Love.” Physical exercise helps children:
- Physical Development: Build strong muscles, flexible joints, and enhance immunity.
- Cognitive Development: Train agility, dexterity, and quick reflexes.
- Socio-Emotional Development: Develop cooperation, sharing, communication skills, discipline, and teamwork spirit.

Parents are likely wondering which exercises are suitable for their children. Here are some suggestions:

Integrating Physical Exercise into Daily Life
I vividly remember the story of Minh, a rather shy boy. Since participating in physical activities at school, Minh has become much more active and confident. Integrating physical exercise into daily life is not difficult:
- Teach Children Household Chores: Sweeping, wiping tables, watering plants… are also forms of gentle exercise.
- Take Children for Walks, Play in the Park: Instead of letting children watch TV or phones, encourage outdoor activities.
- Purchase imported preschool toys that encourage movement: Bikes, balls, slides… will stimulate children to move more.
