[quote=Anonymous]He needs to take swimming lessons, but until he can swim, he will spend a lot of time standing so not much exercise. I'd say a gym that has them jumping in a ball pit, crawling over stuff, bouncing on a trampoline, rolling, tumbling, etc. NOT "official" olympics type gymnastics yet, but lots of movement. Now, if you go to an open gym vs. lessons, know that he might NOT want to do some of the things, or will "get tired." Many children, when confronted with things they cannot do, don't "want to" - so your job will be to encourage him to try and do things even if they are hard so he gets better. And make it playful and fun. But if he's in a lesson (and you tell the instructor privately) then they will work on getting him to do things and not just bailing because "its hard/I don't want to" It's a balance.[/quote]
