Physical activity

It is widely considered that attitudes towards physical activity are established at an early age; parents therefore have a prime responsibility to encourage their children to engage in active play and prevent problems associated with childhood obesity.  

Academic & Social Performance

The best way to ensure children can achieve academically with less effort is to hone motor skills in early childhood. Dr. Jean Piaget, a Swiss child psychologist and biologist, recognised that for children, sensory-motor intelligence represents the foundation for and integration of a child's later ability to abstract, generalise, analyse, and synthesise natural and social phenomenon. In other words, a child's ability to understand the world around him and communicate with others is based on early, adequate sensory and motor-skill development and integration, as well as stable emotional development.

A strong and well developed posture and movement (Gross motor skills) form the basis for developing age-appropriate speech, language and behaviour. Which inturn form the foundation for later movement skills, such as drawing or writing and as adults when performing complex and high-precision motor activities like those of surgeons, airplane pilots, violinists, figure skaters, etc.

A well-trained and developed sense of balance and coordinated movement are also fundamental skills in developing attention spans, in concentrating and remaining focused for a long time when learning and communicating.
