Exercises for feet for children

Doctors say that if the child is healthy, it is possible and necessary to do health gymnastics with him from one and a half years.

The length of the training depends on the mood of the child, his state. Up to two years, you only need to practice for ten minutes, up to three years you can increase the time to 20 minutes. If you do it rhythmically. To music, without pausing, then the time for classes should be reduced. At 6-7 years old the child should be engaged with you for at least 20 minutes a day. If the child is tired of doing it, it's better not to insist. Gently find out why he refuses, maybe you can continue in a few minutes, or maybe go back to charging in the evening. Or change the music. Give the child freedom of action. If you do leg exercises with him, he will gladly repeat for you. More sense of humor, and soon classes will bring pleasure to all participants.

You can study with your baby at home. It is only necessary to understand that as the child develops, his growing up, and the exercises for the feet of children become more complicated.

The smallest children are given "passive gymnastics" for up to a year, the methods of which are described in great detail, there are also educational videos. Remember that classes should be conducted in a play form, try to interest the child, joke with him and praise him, and in no case do not overwork. You can use Swedish ladder, gymnastic sticks, auxiliary items in the lessons with the baby.

At the beginning of the class, the choice of intensity and duration of the exercises can be given to the child himself, as if giving him complete freedom of action.
