I was born loving sports. Ball was even my first word and I joined a baseball league at 3 and still doing sports today. My parents never forced my sister's or I to do an activity. If we wanted to do something we could. These parents though are having their kids join a sports league so they can become sport stars and even having toddlers doing those exercises seems unhealthy. Parents need to let their kids play, not do the exercise for them. Kids decide on their dreams, not the parents.

Not everyone wants to be an athlete when they grow up.

poweronia ? One year olds are building tons of muscle memory all the time. They’re building it when they learn to walk or learn to use a spoon or drink from a cup. All these tasks and more require muscle memory.

Count on an American news outlet to negatively portray physical activity for kids.

My daughter knew what competitive is since she was one or younger! They know anything you show, teach, introduce to them - they are sponges and their abilities till they turn 5 are incredible! No, they won't become athletes, or speak Chinese, but listening Chinese(or any other language) trains brain muscles and in the future , if they want to learn language, it will be easier! Same with muscles - now my daughter is 3.5 and she is so strong, she can hang 10 times longer on a monkey bar than I do! kicks ball like a pro! Oh, it's also the healthy diet - VERY HEALTHY DIET, ORGANIC and right food and WATER ONLY! ALL the Kids are geniuses at this age but the most parents are idiots and lazy!
