Some parents say their kids don't like sports. Why?
Some kids don't like sports because they don't know how to play them. If the kids know how to play a new sport, maybe they will like it. Taking P. E. classes at school is a good way to learn new sports. Another way is to watch videos about sports. Kids can also read some books to learn new sports.
Some kids don't like playing sports because they were once on a team and didn't have fun. For those kids, it's a good idea to talk with their teachers or parents. With their help, maybe the kids will like playing sports again.
There are many kinds of sports, so a kid should find the sports that suit (适合)him or her. If a kid doesn't like team sports, parents can ask him or her to try sports for one person, such as swimming and running.
Playing sports is a good form (形式) of exercise, and it can help kids keep healthy. Of course, non-sports activities can also keep kids healthy, such as walking a dog, cleaning the room and watering the garden.
