COGNITIVE/ACADEMIC BENEFITS
Children develop intellectual and cognitive understanding
through interactive, manipulative experiences. This type of
experience is a acquired through play in a
structured social environment.
Optimal cognitive processing in a child
necessitates a period of interruption
after a period of concentrated
instruction. Ie attending Crossfit Kids after a long day of school.
Several studies
demonstrated that physical activity, whether
performed indoors or outdoors, made
children more attentive and more
productive in the classroom.
PHYSICAL BENEFITS
There is a wealth of literature published
on the need for and benefit of
physical activity and fitness, not only
for a child’s physical well-being but
also for academic and social maturation.
Our kids play and work constantly during class to
provide the opportunity
to be active with an intensity of their
choosing and to practice movement
and motor skills.
It provides young children free activity
for the sheer joy of it. Crossfit kids
counterbalances
sedentary time at school
and at home,
which can help lower
risk of obesity.
SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL BENEFITS
Exercise and Crossfit Kids promotes social and emotional learning and developement for children by offering them a time to engage in peer interactions in which they practice social skills. We do this with physical activity as well as group discussions about nutrition, goal setting and other things going on in their lives. Children learn valuable communication skills, including negotiation, cooperation, sharing, and problem solving as well as coping skills, such as perserverance and self control. These skills become fundamental, lifelong personal tools.Animal Day
