Gymnastics for Children
Younger children can also do gymnastics without getting bored, as long as parents, teachers, babysitters or siblings participate and become their monitors. It can be started at home, but if the weather is good, it can be done outdoors, preferably in a meadow or on the beach. The desire to play, which is never lacking in children, will do the rest.
This book offers many useful tips and a host of games designed to develop the motor potential of children and stimulate their imagination, imitation skills, balance, coordination, etc.. Each exercise is explained in detail so that the child can have as much fun as possible. To begin with, the simplest exercises, which can be performed only with the body, are presented for the youngest children.
Then, progressively, games with the rope, the newspaper and the ball are described, which can be done alone or in groups to develop creativity and motor coordination. Throughout these pages, you will see that gymnastics for children does not have to be tiring and monotonous.
