Each year is a new opportunity to focus on making positive changes in our children's lifestyles, exercise and diet habits. 
 
The Little Gym of Litchfield Park thinks it's important to help children develop healthy habits and enjoy an active lifestyle at an early age.  To help families keep the focus on health in the New Year, The Little Gym proposes three "Parenting Resolutions" for 2012:
 
1.  Encourage physical activity.  Physical activity provides countless benefits, but it's a healthy habit that children need to develop early so that it becomes a natural part of their lifestyle as they grow.
 
2.  Establish healthy eating habits.  Keep healthy, appealing snacks onhand and set an example for your children with your own food choices.  Plan low fat meals that following the government's MyPlate guidelines and involve your children in meal planning and shopping.  This allows families to reinforce their children's healthy food choices and helps children discover new foods and flavors.
 
3.  Focus on your child's positive behaviors.  Like adults, children respond to favorable comments and adopt behaviors that gain them attention. Try to get in the habit of catching your children "at their best."  Providing encouragement for good behavior or for participating in sports or other physical activities is a great way to motivate children to maintain good habits.
 
We know that children are more engaged when they're excited about what they're doing.  Our innovative programs introduce children to physical activities that are both fun and fitness-inspired.  Discovering and mastering new skills in a fun and positive way at The Little Gym helps build a foundation for a fit and healthy lifestyle.

Parents-
You are your child's FIRST teacher.
The first several years of a child's life are the time of most rapid brain development, and the time of greatest learning.
What you do during this time can determine if they wither on the vine or blossom gloriously.
 
You are your child's first example.  So you want to set a good one...right??
 
You want to show your child you follow a healthy lifestyle .....WELL what better way than to have you AND your child involved at THE LITTLE GYM.
 
Now, not only do we work on physical skills in our 3-dimensional learning but we also help develop a citizen kid, and boost brain activity. 
 
Who wouldn't want all of that for their child?

On Saturday July 16th we celebrated the start of our new season "CARNIVAL STYLE." 
 
Everyone had so much fun.  It was a great way for our members to bring their families or other friends that weren't members to check out all the "SERIOUS FUN" we were having.   
It was also awesome for our team members to talk to our members who aren't currently enrolled for our new season and explain to them what that was all about. 
 
Check out our pics!  We had a great time.
 
 
This blog post is ALL about our cutie patootie Friday morning birds class taught by Ms. kelly. 
 
The Little Gym bird's class is a part of the parent child program.  It is for children ages 10-19 months to participate in with their parents once a week for 45 minutes. 
You can read about our parent child program or any other program we offer on our main Little Gym page under the programs and classes tab.
 
As soon as I entered this particular class I saw all the parents and how involved they were.  It was amazing!!  Moms were swinging on the bars, climbing over the matts, sitting on the ground with their little birds playing with the balls, etc. 
 
Enjoy these pictures below :)
