Tai Chi 4 Kids
Dr. Paul Lam, a family physician in Sydney, Australia, is a world leader in the field of Tai Chi for health improvement. Knowing that tai chi has almost magical effects on the mind, body and spirit, he and his team of educators and tai chi experts designed this tai chi exercise program to be especially beneficial in addressing the needs of children and young people through their teenage years. Educational research supports the value of mindful movement for youth in settings such as schools, camps, and leisure programs.
Young people love to learn and they learn very fast especially when engaged in a fun activity. This specially designed tai chi program emphasizes the fun element while developing the mind and body. It is designed with several small building blocks to capture children’s attention, incorporating imagery and games to add appeal. In the instructor training workshop, you will learn how to adapt the learning method to the age and ability of the youth. The program works to help our kids succeed despite the challenges of autism, bullying, changing parental norms, drugs, learning disabilities, and special needs.
