Up You Go! Kids natural talent and fitness.
Now a days, we hardly find kids playing outside. They prefer to surf over the internet or watch some videos by sitting within the comfort of home. These are common scenarios in cities, but when it comes to villages, the scenario is completelly opposites. Kids just love to come out in open and do all kind of activity, few likes to play and few like to do acrobats. My little 8 years old nephew is of a different nature, he likes to jump whenever he can, whereever he want. Looking this unique ability I named him jumping jack.
Last few weeks he is giving me company, in my evening walk. And while I enjoy, walking, he is seen jumping anywhere and everywhere. Not only this, he asks me to make videos. He reviews them instantly and try to figure out his mistake. Which I belive is a good sign to mend the mistakes. Few days ago, he climbed upon a 10 Feet boundary wall and jumped. I was shocked but he was perfectly OK and was smiling. His grandfather did scolded him, and me. But he did not stopped joining me in my walk.
on his run up for a jump
Kids are known for their agility and flexibility. But he seems to posses some extra talent. You can not made him stand straight & still even for a minute. And I am watching this in him since he was born. He can easily jump from a height,climb upon tree, a boundary wall woth ease and so far did not harmed himself in anyway. Looking at his strange ability, I started to guide few things to groom him better. He can jumps, on a run up or by standing still. I compiled all his videos for future memory.
on the air, before landing
There were long trenches and ditches all over my walking path. And he made use of them. Jumping in those sand and mud are little risk. Due to rain they are wet too. Still these trenches have a good more than 8 feet of height. Apart from jumping, he is very agile in climbing up from those trenches without any support. Even when the soil is slippery due to rain, he easily hike without much support. Kidd of his age scaling upward on these trenches is like climbing a mountain.
climbing up from the trenches
At his age and size, it is like hiking on a mountain. More noteworthy, he is wearing only a slippers, and no sports shoes or boots. He loves to spoil himself in the mud and soil. He is good in balancing himself nicely. His slim agile body make it look natural. He easily get on top from the ditch so comfortably. He is quick and cute too.
on top of the trenches without any support
He was bit caught up with his standing jumps. Where I asked him to follow few tricks, like bending the knees, and then spreading legs in air to reach farther distance. He is now confident with this jumps too.

This is where a city kids differs from a village kid. They have some natural talent You can see this behind my nepgew cute looking face. He is naughty, he is agile, he is quick, he is athelitic, he is very acrobats. But what more one could expect from an 8 years old. His grandfather wanted him to stop doing all these, while I try to encourage him, but within a limit. Not sure if I am doing the right thing or not?
He is very interested and excited doing all these acrobats, not for the camera but for himself. I can see his happiness, and crazyness. I admire it! Kids of his age are scared of doing any physical act and he is performing all kind of stunts. Surely a blessed kid. A natural stuntman or athlete in preparation.
It's always so great to see kids playing outside, making up their own fun and using their imagination. Thanks for sharing this moment. Also...if his stunt are anything like mine were, they often end up in disaster...and that's all parr of the fun!
So far he is good and always eager for more.....I like his enthusiasm ....that is why I am giving him much space....his family alwsy afraid of some mishappening, and try to control him...but when he is with me...he enjoy the freedom...he can easily walk 2-3 km without any difficulty. At his age it is praise worthy.
Running, jumping, making up some fun out of a creek or washaway...seems a lot like my own youth! I also used to do a lot of
stupid thingsstunts and they often went wrong. I got bruises and cuts, but always got back up and tried again. I attribute that, the drive behind it, to why I was able to do difficult things later in life, and still do. It's character-building.Nice work mate, great post.
I saw other kids of his age prefer to stay safe. They do prefer to play outside but nothing sort or what he indulges into....he has kind of spring beneath his feet....he gets some raises but he ignore them....surely he is getting tough...I am planning to share some taekwondo tips....but for the time being I let him loose to enjoy his own way with all safety possible....so far he didn't need3d any safety gear.
I think it's legitimate to foster a sense of adventure, something that took me many places (and sustained me through many tribulations), and that can do the same for others. I see a lot of parents wrapping kids in bubble-wrap and that can then breed a fear of failure causing the kid to hold back when they would be better served to push forward. But what do di Know, I'm not a parent.
It would be interesting to see your parenthood..definatelly it gonna be an interesting phase for you.....I can imagine you being with your kidd and playing all kind of stuffs 😉
It's not going to happen for me I'm afraid, I'll never had kids of my own.

The children's joy <3
Yes...they love the freedom & fun
Children should grow up outside, not in front of screens. I think village life is more sincere and beautiful than city life, children growing up here are more self-confident and already aware of their talents. But in city life, there is less and less playing on the streets, so I think it is bad for children who grow up in front of screens with youtube
That's true.....it reminds me of our time, where were not hooked to screen. Living in middle of nature and playing o0enly does give some positive impact for physical and mental growth.
