Hi Adelynn,
Thanks for the question. To teach toddlers gymnastics, you need to focus on fun, safety and basic skills. Here are some tips:
- Safe environment - Soft surfaces and constant supervision for example
- Basic skills and movements - Forward rolls, balances and simple jumps
- Keep it fun - Obstacle courses and fun games
- Use music and rhythms to help guide movements.
- Emphasise the basics - body awareness, listening skills, taking turns.
- Encourage creativity
- Use positive reinforcement
- If possible, parental assistance is extremely useful.
I hope this helps,
Cam
