FYI, children at age 3 to 6 are very dominant in their right brain.
They are creative, imaginative, asking lots of surprising questions.
Parents have to be often observed this behavior and find the correct ways to teach them how to make use of this talent!
Some tips to teach your lil angel:
To be able to teach a toddlers class, you will need to understand something about child development, and structure the classes in such a way as to compliment and reinforce this.
Child development has four main aspects, and these are as follows (collectively, these are known as “PIES” (easy way of remembering them!):
- Physical
- Intellectual
- Emotional
- Social
Teaching toddlers can be an extremely rewarding undertaking as you can often see the results of your efforts almost immediately *Insya-Allah*. It is well worth the extra efforts involved
Recommended teaching methods for toddler & preschoolers:
Children of this age have:
- A great deal of energy
- A very short attention span
- An ability to learn quickly
- A love of games and play
- Varying levels of coordination
This means that your lessons will need to be the following:
- Safe! (safety first).
- Short (30/45 mins max).
- Kinaesthetic (emphasis placed upon “doing”).
- Interesting, challenging and informative.
- Have plenty of variety.
- Contain lots of the “fun” element.
Practice make perfect
Practice is the last secret.
Keep on trying mommies
Homeschooling is the BEST!
May Allah swt always bless & help you. Amin~

Parkour Sensation for Toddlers & Preschoolers
Post by MamaFiza on April 26, 2009
Wish you were in the pink of health dear mommies
For this week updates, we would like to contribute on Extreme Sport; Parkour Sensation for Toddlers & Preschoolers.
When I found out about parkour from my beloved hubby, I was like, ‘Wait, it’s a sport?‘ ” ^0^
- It’s like urban gymnastics!
- It’s like acrobatic style freerunning ~
- At its purest, its nothing like any of those things at all
*oh so clueless rite?*
Understand that this art has been created by few soldiers in Vietnam to escape or reach: and this is the spirit I’d like parkour to keep. You have to make the difference between what is useful and what is not in emergency situations. Then you’ll know what is parkour and what is not. So if you do acrobatics things on the street with no other goal than showing off, please don’t say it’s parkour. Acrobatics existed long time ago before parkour~David Belle (Founder of Parkour)
Warming up >_<
What is Parkour?
- Parkour, which originated in France, is a way of getting around objects in the quickest way possible, often by climbing, jumping or vaulting over them instead of just walking around them.
- Parkour is also sometimes called free running, which is thought of as a more aesthetic version of the techniques.
- Two French teenagers, David Belle and Sébastien Foucan, developed parkour in Lisses, a Paris suburb. They drew on their experience in gymnastics and martial arts, as well as the obstacle-course training that Belle’s father underwent as a soldier in Vietnam. The name is derived from the French phrase, parcours du combattant, roughly translated as “military obstacle course.”
- Practitioners of parkour are known as “traceurs“.
- Although their movement looked natural and unscripted, parkour has its own lexicon of maneuvers.
- Like the martial arts that helped inspire it, parkour is a mental discipline as well as a physical one.
- Parkour is getting more and more attention thanks to media appearances and stunts in films like the latest James Bond flick, Casino Royale. Brands like Nike, Toyota and Adidas began using parkour in ad campaigns. Soon enthusiasts all over the world were using Internet message boards to swap tips, share pictures and arrange practice sessions, known as jams.

My angels ^-^

Chubby lil baby HidE-cHan ![]()
If you think that parkour sounds like something that young kids are fanatic about, you’d be totally right.
The King a.k.a PaPa, personally had been teaching our kids “parkour” since last year and they really love it *alhamdulillah*
These are some of my kids weekly workout routine as beginner in this utmost games (more to learn, Insya-Allah):
- Safety first, look before you leap, how to know your limits and know the risks.
- How to control your body movements, and making them more efficient.
- Learning basic skills:
- Jumping and landings
- Soft and silent landings
“There are no limits, only obstacles, and every obstacle can be overcome” ~ Parkour
