Gymnastics is one of the most comprehensive “lifestyle exercise programs” available to children, incorporating strength, flexibility, speed, balance, coordination, power, and discipline. Children learn cognitive skills more effectively in an environment that includes the body as well as the mind. Gymnastics, childhood movement education, is directly attributed to developing students and promoting reading readiness. Children who have participated in movement education activities have longer attention spans, increased communication skills, general problem-solving skills, and improved self-esteem.
