Summer Options? No Sweat!
Summer Options? No Sweat!
Even though many parts of the country are still covered in snow, spring is in full swing and summer is just around the corner! As the sunny recess approaches, it's important to consider ways to fuel your child's mind and imagination during the lazy summer months. If you haven't booked anything yet, don't sweat it! Consider Anytime Summertime Kids' Camps and summer classes at The Little Gym.

Anytime Summertime Kids' Camps for children ages 3 through 8 offer unique weekly "Summer Adventure" themes like X-Treme Sports of All Sorts, Superheroes! and TLG's Crazy Carnival! - to name just a few. This modular approach allows you to customize your child's camp days to fit your summer schedule. You can schedule several full weeks, a week, or even just a day at a time. Or, select from our regular schedule of age-appropriate summer classes filled with movement, music, learning and laughter for children four months through 12 years.

Forget about the bug spray and UV-protection. Summers at The Little Gym are pretty much as great as you'd imagine. Call today to reserve your child's spot and make it the best summer yet!
A Good Sport is Always a Winner
The age old saying, "Actions speak louder than words," is true in many cases. But it's especially true when it comes to teaching children about good sportsmanship. Being a good sport means treating others with respect and displaying a positive attitude. This can be as simple as shaking hands with opponents before and after a game or acknowledging good plays made by others during play. Whether win, lose, or draw, real winners focus on the most important aspect of playing the game- having fun.

Children learn by example and by matching the actions of role models like you. Here are some ways you can help your child develop the habit of being a good sport:
  • Applaud good plays no matter who makes them.
  • Look for examples of good sportsmanship in professional athletes and point them out to your child.
  • As kids get older, let them choose what sports they want to take part in and decide the level of commitment they want to make.
Displaying good sportsmanship may not always be easy. But the benefits will carry through into every other aspect of life. Children that learn to be good sports understand the value of a positive attitude, respect for others, leadership, and empathy. And that's a winning play in any parent's playbook.
