Focusing solely on the physical development of your child can lead to neglecting essential aspects of their overall growth. As a parent encouraging creativity, critical thinking, and strong interpersonal skills will help your child become a resilient individual.

We share some of the reasons you shouldn't focus on the physical development of your child
1. Everyone develops differently.
2. The physical only grants you entry.
3. The physicals are not the differentiating factor
4. The physicals lead to identity crisis.
5. Being good physically doesn't equate to sports IQ.

In conclusion, it is advisable for parents to adopt a holistic approach to their child's growth. While physical development is important, it's equally vital to emphasize emotional, social, and cognitive skills.
