Before you teach a child to ride rollerblades, parents should correctly pick them up. Benefit in the market a huge selection of models. The only thing that needs to be considered when buying is that the baby's leg is growing fast enough, so you need to buy a sliding roller skates of a good manufacturer.
Features of training
Many parents ask themselves: "How to teach a child to skate, and at what age is it better to start?". According to long-established techniques, it is better to teach roller skating in 5-6 years, but not in 2 years. The fact is that by this time the musculoskeletal system is quite strong, and the muscles are able to withstand long physical exertion.
Each tutor should know a few nuances:
- not all children are able to immediately stand on rollers and go;
- the process of teaching skating is best done in a game form;
- it is always necessary to start with lighter exercises.
The first thing you need to teach your child is the right rack. It is the main part of all basic education. It looks like this: slightly bent at the knees legs, heels together, the socks are diluted, and the body is tilted forward. A common mistake is that students often tip their shoulders, not the entire body.
After the child learns to correctly stand on the rollers, you can go to the next stage - walking. Do it better on the lawn, because at first the fall is almost inevitable. After he learned this stage, you can do the same on the asphalt.
Basic Skills
Roller skating is quite a traumatic exercise, therefore, in order to avoid serious consequences, it is also necessary to teach the child to fall correctly. It is clear that the entire training process is conducted exclusively in protective clothing (helmet, knee pads , elbow pads). However, in the first stages children very often fall on their backs. In such cases, head trauma is almost inevitable. To avoid it, it is necessary to explain to the child that, in the event of a loss of balance, one must try to group and twist to fall forward. As a rule, after several falls, he will understand how this is done.
It is also very important to teach the child to properly brake when rolling on rollers. Quite often, already confidently feeling baby, gaining a lot of speed and, not having time to slow down before the obstacle, falls. In order for this to happen, absolutely all models of roller skates are equipped with a regular brake, which is a rubber-plastic nozzle. However, it is inconvenient to use.
The best option for braking is the following: when you see the obstacle, lean forward, while keeping your knees together so that the toes of the skates are facing inward.
Training
So, if the child is well on roller, feels confident, you can move on to learning to ride. For this, the following exercises are most often used:
- "Circles" . On the asphalt draw chalk mugs. The child will have to go round them.
Thus it is necessary to begin as follows: heels together, socks apart. Then the rollers evenly diverge, they circle the circle and again converge. At the same time, it is necessary to follow that the legs are reduced to the end. - "Snake" . The legs are parallel. Repulsion is made with heels and wiggles from side to side. It is necessary to constantly monitor the balance of the child, holding his hand.
- The Eight . To this exercise, you can go when the baby is already quite confidently performs the previous two. It is very similar to the mugs, however, when performing it, the legs are crossed.
