What are the benefits of Baby & Toddler Gymnastics?

Baby & Toddler Gymnastics has a number of positive effects on your kids ranging from physical, mental, and social benefits.

Gymnastics builds muscle density and strength in toddlers creating solid foundational skills that will benefit them if they choose to pursue gymnastics as a sport or if they choose to go into any other sports.

They will build core strength and grip, learn sign language, and improve their hand-eye coordination using inflatable balls and bubbles. From forward rolls to getting over tumbling blocks and learning how to swing, you’re cheeky monkeys will excel at movement. They’ll learn their colours too which is another key milestone for toddlers.

Alongside transferrable and foundational skills, your kids will boost confidence and make friends their age. Their communication skills will develop too from an early age which is another major skill for any age group.

Baby & toddler gymnastics classes are ultimately a positive environment for growing children and create well-rounded tots with a wide set of skills they can use throughout their lives.

FAQs

What is the best age to start gymnastics?

The best age to start training in competitive gymnastics is 2 – 5 years old.

How do I prepare my toddler for gymnastics?

The best way to ease into a gymnastics class is to stretch. Stretching helps loosen and warm up your muscles before you get into 40-60 minutes of exercise. Stretching is important before any sporting activity as you may get DOMS – delayed onset muscle soreness. To avoid any soreness or discomfort do at least 5-10 minutes of stretching before each class. 

Some classes make time for stretching at the start and end of their activities but it’s always best to stretch beforehand in case they don’t!

Is gymnastics good for children's bodies?

In short, YES! Gymnastics is incredibly beneficial for your children as it boosts physical health, mental health and socialisation skills. They learn values like rewards for hard work too alongside the physical benefits.

Physical benefits include:

– Stimulates cognitive growth (the mind)

– Develops strong bones

– Improves core strength, reflexes, balance & extension

– Develops strength

Why are babies encouraged to do gymnastics?

It’s a great way to teach babies gross motor skills. They develop all kinds of physical benefits as they build their strength by climbing, swinging, jumping, and running around in each session. Gross motor skills are vital to a toddler’s development and gymnastics helps children coordinate their muscles as they grow.

Should my child eat before gymnastics?

Eating healthily is vital to any gymnast, sportsman or human in general.

Gymnasts should have finished their breakfast/lunch or dinner one hour prior to training.

Gymnasts should eat meals that include starchy carbohydrates and proteins. Child gymnasts should include at least 5 portions of fruit and vegetable a day.

If you want your kids to grow up happy, healthy & confident toddler gymnast sessions could be perfect for you. We hope you feel more confident about your decision to take your tots to an energetic class of gymnastics and have found an activity centre near you. There really are so many amazing benefits from physical wellness, development and mental health.
