[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tae kwon do has been very helpful in building strength for my child with hypotonia. It also helps with focus and discipline, which is a plus in my book.[/quote] Can I ask how was his/her focus before? And what age? I am just not sure a young 4yr old with issues sitting still, would benefit but I would love to hear otherwise. [/quote] DC started TKD later, at age 6, so YMMV. However, I have watched the class for 4 YOs and I am impressed with the way the instructors handle young children. In fact, our friends' DD started at 4. There is a lot of emphasis on building strength and stamina (think push-ups, etc.) so there's a nice mix of exercise along with the actual TKD. You could observe a class or have your DD try one for free. We go to Flying Kick in Bethesda.[/quote]
