Toddler/Parent Program at Ascendant Martial Arts
Our Toddler/Parent Program is the perfect introduction to martial arts for young kids in Regina! Designed for toddlers to develop essential skills like balance, coordination, and agility, this class is a fun, hands-on experience that parents and children can enjoy together.
In each 30-minute class, toddlers will:
A LOT OF PARENTS STRUGGLE TO FIND TIME TO ENJOY ACTIVITIES WITH THEIR CHILDREN
They also worry that their toddlers don’t understand the importance of exercise and wonder if that’s because as parents, they don’t make time to work out in their own lives.
There aren’t many workouts that can be shared by adults and toddlers. Cheering from the sidelines isn’t the same as doing something together.
RESULTS AND GROWTH WITH EVERY CLASS!
Toddler / Parent classes offer parents a way to spend quality time with their toddlers and get their exercise, too. No matter your toddler’s fitness or skill level, we teach the same basic skills. That means, you can cheer one another on while also burning calories, relieving stress, and learning valuable lessons that apply to all areas of life.
MAKE EXERCISE A FAMILY PRIORITY
When you have a busy life that includes children, it can be hard to make time in your schedule for working out. Yet, as a parent, you know that the example you set is something that will influence your toddlers throughout their lives.
Our Toddler / Parent program offers you the opportunity to kill two birds with stone. By attending classes with your toddler, you’ll be showing them that you value fitness and exercise.
At the same time, you’ll be giving your toddler a chance to let loose and have some fun. They won’t even be thinking about the fact that they’re exercising – and before you know it, exercise will be a habit for them and you.
AGE-APPROPRIATE FUN FOR TODDLERS AND PARENTS ALIKE
Toddlers have short attention spans. Sometimes it can be impossible to find something that will keep them engaged. Even choosing a movie or television show to watch requires boatloads of patience and diplomacy. Yet, family time is important.
One of the biggest benefits of studying the martial arts as a family is that it’s fun for everybody, toddlers and adults alike. Kicking, punching, and breaking boards are enjoyable activities at any age.
You might think of martial arts as an individual pursuit, but toddlers and parents who take classes together cheer each other on. The memories you build in class will last a lifetime!
LEARNING DISCIPLINE AND SELF-CONTROL CAN HELP BOTH TODDLERS & PARENTS
Sometimes, finding an activity that your interests your toddler can be a battle.
At the same time, you may struggle with discipline and self-control in your life too. Studying the martial arts is great for your body, but it’s also good for your brain. As you work out, you and your toddler will learn the five tenets of martial arts: courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, and indomitable spirit.
While you might learn about perseverance and self-control on the mat, the lessons don’t end there. Your toddlers will bring what they learn to school with them, you’ll bring it to work, and both of you will bring it home.
TODDLERS AND PARENTS IMPROVE THEIR SELF-ESTEEM
Self-esteem plays an important role in how we move through life. A child who has good self-esteem is likely to perform well in school, to form healthy relationships, and to be successful in life.
Of course, a parent’s self-esteem has a direct impact on their impressionable toddler. One of the most important benefits of studying the martial arts is that it teaches people of all ages to rely on themselves and their abilities.
Both toddlers and parents can benefit from learning about self-reliance and confidence. Once you know your own worth – and your kids know theirs – the whole family will have a newfound positivity that will strengthen your relationships.
