A new kind of kindergarten design encourages kids to be their silly selves
I had to click through to a post with that title. 🙂
There’s no doubt we need change our current “children’s prison” model. In Japan there’s a brave, new model.
Architect Takaharu Tezuka explains in a TEDx Kyoto talk how one school created a kindergarten that doesn’t fight against kids’ natural impulses. It counts on them. …
The roof is a giant ring of a playground. Why? Kids love to run in circles. …

cleaning the foam pit
😦
Everyone’s least favourite job. Who knows what we’re going to find at the bottom.
Best for non-competitive gyms are solid Resi Pits. We don’t need to train multiple somersaults with multiple twists.
Equipment companies can give you quotes on every type of landing pit.
Foam pits are FUN. A good draw for kids checking out your facility. But ultimately I’d rather have something cleaner.

ALL our kids are special. Growth and Development chronologies are similar. The only differences is that these specialists have broken down the movement patterns into smaller pieces. In safer environments. Soft and rounded.

ban tobogganing – it’s too DANGEROUS
Reposted by Rick McCharles from GymnasticsCoaching.com
My home town Calgary is not quite as stupid as, for example, Hamilton. 🙂
But we’re pretty stupid. Socialist nations like Canada have governments with enough spare time to invent city bylaws like: “those who slide outside the city’s 18 approved hills could face a $100 fine”.
Calgary’s media has made much ado about the city’s tobogganing rules in recent weeks — to the point where Mayor Naheed Nenshi blamed “bored journalists” trying to stir up controversy.
Now Rick Mercer has taken it upon himself to poke a bit of fun at (the) bylaw ..
(For the record, the city does not recall ever giving out a tobogganing fine. Ever.)
Click PLAY or watch comedian Rick Mercer on YouTube.
Certainly no Calgarian I know pays any attention to tobogganing restrictions. We slide wherever we want. But with one eye out in case a Toboggan Cop shows up. 🙂

Over protective restrictions on youth activity contribute to child obesity. We want kids tobogganing more, not less.

Brooklyn welds playground equipment
Another example of insane “nanny state” thinking, disallowing kids to play because there is a chance of cuts and bruising. 😦
The city is putting the brakes on spinning playground equipment following reports of injuries, a Parks Department spokeswoman said.
Rotating metal saucers that kids ride at two Park Slope playgrounds were recently welded into place so they can’t move, and the city has made similar modifications or removed a total of seven disks citywide “in the interest of public safety …
“I think it sucks,” said dad David Friedlander, whose 2-year-old was disappointed to find the the spinning disk at Vanderbilt Playground in Prospect Park suddenly stuck in place in late November. “I think it’s a sad commentary on how litigious and afraid we’ve become of having our children get a few boo-boos.”

Awesome. From personal experience, seeing your children with developmental or other difficulties overcome these through gymnastics and translate those ‘wins’ to other areas of their life is incomparable and unquantifiable – priceless.
