Class Participation

When you look at your child participating in our classes, what do you see? Perhaps you see them laughing, having fun, rolling, doing flips, or learning a new move. But kind of like an iceberg, where most of it is hiding below water, so is the reality of what’s actually going on in a class. 

Consider this: 

Learning a new move, is actually learning to follow instructions from someone else, in sequential order, and executing those instructions. 

Learning a new move is also your child learning curriculum, while using their spatial awareness, fine and gross motor skills all together to execute the move. 

Being part of a class means learning to socialize with others, by taking turns, waiting for the other, cheering classmates on, and observing what they’re doing, aka - learning from peers. 

Being part of a class means learning how to relate to peers, how to make friends, how to communicate with each other,  and how to express their needs to their coaches. 

So the next time you’re observing your child participating in a Kidnasium class - consider the iceberg analogy, and all the other great learnings that are hiding beneath the surface that they take with them for the rest of their lives.
