[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Swimming[/quote] My boys are swimmers! One plays lax, too. My sister's three boys play hockey and have a pool at their house, so they swim all the time. I also have a very athletic girl who gets in on the crazy. I've found that kids crave activities that give their bodies the feedback of resistance. I learned this from a preschool teacher who used to have the kids push on the walls with their arm and feet before they went outside because it cut down on kids crashing into each other on purpose. So, if they're little, swings, trampolines, even dribbling a basketball are good for getting them the "hits" that their bodies crave. Swimming helps because it gives you full body resistance -- starting with a cannonball contest makes it even better! If it is raining and they're little, you can wrap them in a gym/yoga mat and gently roll one kid over the other one in the mat. We call this human tacos. We also had an indoor trampoline.[/quote]
