The kids are stuck at home, now what?

I’m kicking off this blog in an effort to help families out in our current situation. There’s a global crisis going on (Corona virus) which has many families on lockdown and many children’s events/activities being cancelled. With all this extra energy just lying around the house, two things are surely to happen: first, kids are going to go stir crazy, and second, the parents are going to lose their minds because they don’t know how to give their kids constructive physical outputs.

I used to coach gymnastics for over 10 years. When we held classes, it wasn’t just about doing rolls and flips, but keeping the kids active. I was a firm believer that parents weren’t spending hard earned cash to watch their kids stand in lines. So, often times I had to get creative to figure out how to keep kids moving the entire class. We referred to it as circuits. 8 kids in a class? Guess what, I’m going to shoot for 8 stations at each circuit we setup for that day.

I want to use this blog to share some of that creativity with you, the parents out there that are currently trying to figure out now, “what do I do with all this pent up energy?!”
