I've been a little worried about my 5-year-old. He's very energetic, and doesn't have a good sense of where his body is in relation to other things (like my face, or the wall). In an attempt to help him learn some body awareness, I did a little online research and decided we should sign him up for karate or yoga. Until summer, we'll pass on the karate, and I invested in a set of 3 "Yoga Kids" DVD's. A picked the ABC one today, and we all did it, even CP (sort of). I can't recommend the others since we haven't done them, although A is putting another disc in as I type (which must mean he really liked the other one), but we had a lot of fun with Yoga Kids ABC's- if anyone is interested in trying it out let me know!
(The funny thing- he keeps getting a wii remote out to use with his yoga (since he sees me do yoga on the wii fit).
Kade loved this. We did the silly to calm only once or twice. The ABC's was his favorite and we did it several times a week. I was trying to give him better body awareness because everything was either unavailable or too expensive (we were out of state). I didn't get much out of it though because I couldn't do many of them while pregnant. But I like how her emphasis isn't on getting the moves exactly right, but just doing your best for you.
