At The Little Gym of London, we measure success by improvement, enthusiasm and, most of all, fun! Our non-competitive gymnastics and enrichment programs encourage kids to try their best, not to be the best. Because we believe that giant grins are better than gold medals!
We also know how important it is for children to build, gain, and radiate confidence. Here are three things we do in the gym that can be echoed at home:
1. Specific Positive Feedback (SPF). Rather than saying “good job” when your child has done something well, we give them specific positive feedback! Words of praise mean more when they refer to a child’s specific efforts or new abilities.
2. Encourage and support your child in everything they do! Whether it is at home or at The Little Gym of London, words of support and encouragement go a long way!
3. Trust your child and let them make decisions. This will allow your child to build their confidence knowing that you trust them enough to make decisions on their own!
A new Season filled with smiles and milestones starts on September 10! To learn more about our Serious Fun programs for kids 4 months through 12 years, visit www.tlglondoncan.com or give us a call at 519-642-0660 and speak with a friendly team member today! We can’t wait to see you on our Podium!
