The question is asking if children need to wear arm guards.
In general, the answer depends on various factors such as the child’s age and activity level. Here are some guidelines:
- For preschool-age children (ages 3-5), it’s often recommended that they don’t use arm guards when engaging in physical activities like crawling, walking, or running. This is because their young muscles are still developing, and extra support can hinder proper growth.
- Older children who participate in sports or engage in intense physical activities may benefit from wearing lightweight, breathable arm guards to provide additional support during impact positions.
However, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Parents or caregivers should consider factors like the child’s maturity level, gross motor skills, and individual needs before introducing arm guards into their daily routine
