The REAL reason why children fidget
It is sad that we think there is something medically wrong if people fidget...well I guess there is...but the solution is movement, play, and exercise!
Exercise for kids is important. Exercise for kids with unique and special needs especially so. Our goal is to develop a practice that promotes vigorous exercise and movement literacy for all of the kids and young adults we work with. It is about building lifelong physical skills. "Go play outside and burn off some energy" doesn't always work for some. Visit www.exercise-is-therapy.ca

Origins Parkour and Athletic Facility - Fan -freakin'-tastic!
If you have not heard of Origins Gym...watch this:
I got to play there yesterday with a little buddy while his brother and friends enjoyed the run of the house for a birthday party lead by Alyssa Serpa. The gym is outstanding!
My dream is to have a gym like this one day. An outdoor/indoor facility with a variety of obstacles that will be able to challenge ALL levels of physical ability.
If you think about it like this: Origins gym is like a section of a library for physical literacy. Physical literacy is the collection skills that enable a person to move, catch, throw, dance, jump, deke, zig and zag...with grace and fluidity.
Want to challenge your physical literacy?
