What are the methods for children to skip rope

Jumping rope has always been a very healthy way of exercise for children. Generally, if you want to teach children to jump rope, you should first let them practice their jumping ability before jumping rope. This will be of great help for jumping rope later. Generally, if you jump, you can try jumping with empty hands. The main thing is to let the children get familiar with the feeling of jumping, so that it will be easier to jump rope later. Generally speaking, when skipping rope, parents can demonstrate first, or let the children simulate jumping first, which will be more helpful for skipping rope later.

When children aged 3 to 5 years old first start to practice skipping rope, parents need to guide their children to train step by step:

(1) First, let the child dance to the rhythm without holding the rope. Guide the child to jump up while clapping his hands.

(2) After the child learns to jump rhythmically, do not hold the rope. Let the child make the skipping rope posture with both hands and imitate the skipping rope movements to the rhythm.

(3) Then guide the child to hold the rope with both hands and imitate the action of skipping rope. When the rope hits the ground, guide your child to jump both feet over the rope, exactly like skipping rope, except the movement is not continuous.

(4) Practice the complete rope skipping exercise by holding the rope with both hands and jumping up with both feet in coordination. After your child learns to jump rope, practice changing the patterns of jumping rope. This not only increases the enthusiasm for exercise, but also improves coordination.

When you start skipping rope, be careful not to go too fast. You can take it slowly at first. The main thing is to let your child get familiar with the method. After they are familiar with it, you can slowly speed up. Note that before letting your child jump rope, you can practice jumping movements first, which is equivalent to a warm-up to prevent your child from getting injured during subsequent skipping.
