elephant headstands
One of the most unlikely creatures to do a headstand must be Pachyderms.
… Or are they trunkstands?

In gymnastics there is a saying that “we have no right to put a child up onto any height until we have taught them how to come down and land safely”. This is the first step in creating indestructible children. …
Landing on your feet Landing forward on your hands Landing backwards on your hands Landings while twisting By teaching your children how to fall properly now, not only can they PLAY safer this summer, but this lifelong skill may save them from hospital visits later.

Please Don’t Help My Kids
Kate Bassford Baker:
Dear Other Parents At The Park:
Please do not lift my daughters to the top of the ladder, especially after you’ve just heard me tell them I wasn’t going to do it for them and encourage them to try it themselves.
Because, as they grow up, the ladders will only get taller, and scarier, and much more difficult to climb. And I don’t know about you, but I’d rather help them learn the skills they’ll need to navigate them now, while a misstep means a bumped head or scraped knee that can be healed with a kiss, while the most difficult of hills can be conquered by chanting, “I think I can, I think I can”, and while those 15 whole feet between us still feels, to them, like I’m much too far away.

Head Over Heels About Gymnastics
The author sent me a review copy.
Graphics are superb. Gymnastics correct. High quality paper and binding.
It would make a great gift for a young gymnast.
Head Over Heels About Gymnastics is a child friendly picture book written by Gemma Coles that introduces aspiring young gymnasts to the basics of gymnastics. Through photographs and easy to follow steps, the author guides you through the essential floor skills, and includes little helpful tips along the way!
… Overall I found this book very well written, and I would certainly recommend it to any parent interested with helping their young gymnast succeed.
