Creating a Well-Balanced Physical Diet
Like nutrition, little ones need a rich, varied "physical diet" to insure they get what they need. But there's no broccoli in this diet. Just lots and lots of wiggles and giggles!
Look for Kineticons on lookwhatikandu.com to see the benefits of movement and play.

Towel Roll
Spinning slowly is great for developing balance, so after bathtime, wrap your child up in the towel and have them spin out of it. You can also have them lie down on the floor and roll up into and out of the towel.
Be a Push Over
To help little ones understand their own strength, sit on the floor and dare them to try to push you over. Vary your resistance from easy to hard so they have to work a bit to win the game, but of course, always be a push over in the end!

Slow Singing
To help little ones slow down (at least for a moment) sing a favorite song together. Then sing it again, only slow it waaay down. If they can't follow the slower beat that's OK. Sing to them while you dance slowly together.
Slow Singing
Kids are impatient because "now" is all they know. Discover how time comes into focus for kids and what you can do to help the process.
