Character Building

Health & Fitness Builds Children
You’ll love how Horizon builds health and fitness into each class and activity. When children are fit, health will naturally follow You will see your children keeping active in class rather than sitting or waiting in line. All full of movement and positive energy is a great boost leading to more activity, which leads to an active child, both inside and outside of class We’ve all read the horror stories lately about the problems our kids face in living a sedentary lifestyle. They sit all day at school, then come home to TV, video games and junk food. Is it any wonder that one out of four kids today face obesity problems What’s a parent to do? Visit our Peek-a-Boo and You website to find out www.preschoolfitness.com A major part of our program is character-building, instilling in children the self-confidence and know-how they need to become happy and successful. One of the tools we use is “POWerful Words“, a character-building program written by Dr. Robyn J.A. Silverman that is used daily in our gym Check out her POWerful Words Blog she has made especially for parents http://www.drrobynsblog.com How would you like to see your child become an unstoppable force of self confidence? Powerful Words is an incredibly rewarding program for parents and children. Recently one of the boys in the preschool program came out of class and proudly told his mom that he knew a "big people's word" AND he knew what it meant too! Isn't that neat? You're probably wondering what, exactly is Powerful Words? It is a national program created by a very special person, Dr. Robyn Silverman. Dr. Robyn and Jason (her husband) are incredible people to know with great hearts. Each month a different word (Powerful Word) is presented to each class and explained each and every week of that month by the individual coaches in a 3 - 5 minute "mat chat" segment. At the end of the month, the students are asked to explain what the word means. The explanations are awesome. Following are some examples of recent experiences with the students: The word of the month was "Generosity". Here is the story as told from two of the coaches: "I told the children ages 3 - 5 about generosity. It is the habit of giving. Have you ever given a toy to toys for tots at Christmas time? Yea! Or have you cleaned your toom and surprised your mom? Yea! They raised their hand. Nina (5) said "I clean my room!" Here's another: "We were talking about the difference between being generous and sharing. I used an example of having a handful of candy. I said if you share you would give an equal amount to everyone including some for yourself, but if you want to be generous, you would give it all away. Then I asked if anyone has done anything like that. They all said no!, but I share." Isn't that great? Now they know the difference!
