Sports & Mental health

A child's well-being improves if they part-take during some form of physical activity, either at school or out of school. Physical education is beneficial and parents should discuss with their children the importance for them to stay active. Activity releases positive endorphins which contribute to a happier mind. Therefore, it is proven that children who participate in some kind of sports do better at school.
