Why is Kinder kinetics a MUST for your child?
- Kinder kinetics plays a vital role in identifying and minimizing learning difficulties within children and therefore helping to prepare them for their scholastic endeavors.
- Effective sensory and motor control is the foundation for school readiness and long term participation in various activities.
- Kinder kinetics is a fun-orientated programme that helps to develop a child’s motor skills and increasing their self-confidence at the same time.
Why do you need to focus on your child’s development now?
- Scientific research has shown that there is a critical time period in the development of a child’s brain where neurological development is very sensitive to stimulation. Dr. Carl Gabbard is of opinion that these critical periods can be seen as “Windows of Opportunity” that open at certain times.
- This concept implies that inadequate stimulation during these “Windows of Opportunity” will lower your child’s ability for stimulation and learning as he grows older.
- It is thus very important that your child receives the necessary stimulation during the right time/age, to optimize his/her total development.
