Why Gymnastics By: Brian Smith Gymnastics is imperative to a child’s early brain development and learning. Children learn cognitive skills more effectively in an environment that includes the body as well as the mind. Gymnastics is directly attributed to developing neurological pathways in students and promoting reading readiness. Children who have participated in movement education and gymnastics have longer attention spans, increased communication skills, general problem solving skills and improved self-esteem. Recreational gymnastics is a key to balanced human development and has been proven to be a significant factor in reducing alcohol and drug use. Children actively engaged in organized “positive choice” extracurricular activities are less likely to be involved in self-destructive behavior and juvenile crime. With obesity among our school-age population reaching epidemic proportions, healthy activities like gymnastics keeps our kids off the couch & engaged in a healthy lifestyle. Gymnastics & Movement Activities help prevent development of coronary heart disease, diabetes, obesity and numerous other chronic ailments. Nurturing the enjoyment of movement & motor skills development at an early age will help to promote continued participation in physical activity into your child’s adult life. Parents, you should be congratulated for starting your child on a path to a healthy life!
