I see far to many people working with kids as if they were professional athletes. These "trainers" or "coaches" may be impressing parents but they are turning kids off big time and not providing the kids with hat they really need: lots of movement and stimuli. Stop trying to be so fancy with it and just play! Play seems to be a four letter word were not suppose to say these days. There are all kinds of actvities one can do, as you mentioned, that can easily be done anywhere that has some open space. Perhaps it's my many years I spent as a school teacher and IYCA member that this stuff seems so simple and straightforward, but for the majoirty of people, this is a foreign concept. It's amazing what ideas kids can come up with on their own or with minimal direction to challenge themselves when they are permitted to by the adults around them. That's when kids have fun, that's when they learn the best and that's why they want to keep doing it and coming back for more. Great job as usual Lee. Keep spreadng the good word. ~ David I couldn’t agree more Lee. I see far to many people working with kids as if they were professional athletes.
