Raising Future Well-Adjusted Adults Want to give your child the best start in life? New research suggests that creative physical activity may be the key to fostering confident, successful kids. We take a holistic Three-Dimensional Learning approach to skill development, incorporating lessons to help children develop physical, social, and life skills. For instance, research has shown that: Children make judgments about their motor skill abilities at an early age, which may affect their willingness to take on new physical challenges as they get older. Structured and repetitive physical activities can improve a child’s processing speed, working memory, self-control and strategic decision-making ability.
Early participation in structured group activities that allow children to cultivate skills such as initiative, teamwork, and emotional regulation, can help children more effectively take on leadership roles in childhood and later life. Keeping a routine and having something familiar can be a comforting rock for your child during times of change. “For young children, every day is packed with learning and excitement, and routines provide relief from the chaos,” says Jacqueline Burt Wang of Parents Magazine. To keep The Little Gym in your child’s newly refreshed routine, call today 938-6185. Written by: The Little Gym of Eagle/Meridian See our ad on page 13.
