Active summer - ideas for spending time

In summer, our children should not complain about boredom. Beautiful, sunny weather encourages active rest outside. How to spend time with your child during the summer holidays to relax and enjoy school holidays?

Riding on rollers

This is a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon together. Rolling is not only a form of active recreation, which will have a good influence on the figure of the child. This sport also improves fitness and increases motor coordination.

What is more, it positively influences the child's mood. Oxygenates the body, relaxes and reduces stress. You don't have to be athletic to ride on skates. It is also important that this activity places a relatively limited burden on the joints. So this is a sport for the whole family.

When choosing children's rolls, attention should be paid to a number of important issues, including

• adjustment of the size of the rollers to the child's foot - appropriately selected rollers will stabilize the foot, ankle and ankle, thus reducing the risk of painful injury. When choosing the size, it is worth to bear in mind first of all that the foot of our child grows very quickly. Therefore, if we want the rollers to be used by our child for several seasons, we should opt for a model with size adjustment.

If you prefer a standard solution, it is best to go shopping with your child. Then we will choose the optimal sports shoes. If this is not possible for some reasons, it is better to use the length of the foot (measure it at home) than the size of the foot. Depending on the manufacturer, it may differ significantly,

• optimal model - models with soft shoes (otherwise known as socks), which have a composite upper, will be suitable for the child. This design allows the rollers to adhere tightly to the legs, making it easier for the child to control the ride.

What is more, children's rollers should have a rigid metatarsal protection structure and an ankle, i.e. those parts of the foot which are most at risk of injury. Footwear should not only protect against injuries, but also guarantee adequate perspiration. Optimal air circulation is essential for comfortable use of the rollers.

When choosing the optimal roller model, let's also pay attention to the way of tying. These are usually shoelaces. They provide optimal foot protection. As a supplement, a clamp or Velcro is often used, which guarantees additional support,

• Size of wheels - it should be adjusted to the age of the child and his or her roller skating skills. The diameter of the wheels varies from 47 to 110 millimetres and their hardness can range from 74A to 101A. The higher these parameters are, the poorer the wheels grip, but they reach higher speeds.

In the case of a child, the wheels will work well:

• with a diameter of approximately 70-72 mm,
• with a hardness of approximately 80A-82A.

These parameters ensure comfortable driving and safety. The child does not develop excessive speed.

Refreshing bathing

The air temperature in summer can be a nuisance for adults and children alike. Therefore, if we want to give our children a moment of rest, it is worth to install a children's pool in the garden. Thanks to it, a refreshing bath will be at your fingertips.

Swimming in the domestic pool strengthens the muscles and relieves the spine. Therefore, it is an excellent way of active recreation in summer. When choosing a swimming pool, it is worth making sure that it is adapted to the needs of children. Only then will it be completely safe for them.

When deciding to buy a pool, let's pay attention to the type of pool. There are three main models to choose from:

• an inflatable pool for small children aged two to four years. Its advantages include, above all, its low price. However, this makes it unsustainable. It can be easily pierced. What is more, the child will quickly grow out of it. However, this is an ideal solution if we want to tame our child with water.

• Expansion pool - compared to an inflatable pool, it is usually larger in size. It also has better durability. It is intended for children from 3 years of age. If we decide for a better quality and larger model, adults will also be able to relax in it.

• Frame pool - this is the most durable and most resistant to damage solution of all the mentioned. Thanks to its sturdy construction and large size, it guarantees a lot of fun. It is designed for older children, teenagers and adults.

When choosing a swimming pool for children, it is also worth taking into account the material from which it was made. The size of the pool is also important. The price/quality ratio is also important.

To sum up, warm summer days are worth spending with children outdoors. Skating or swimming in the pool are activities that can bring fun not only to children, but also to adults.
