Charity Event

Kidtastics is hosting a charity event with Scottsdale Adventure Boot Camp to help raise money for Phoenix Children's Hospital. Help us raise money for kids. Come participate in our "Parents & Kids Get Fit" day on September 11th.

We'd like to invite you to participate in a Parent and Child Group Fitness Event for charity. The event is being held on Saturday, September 11th, 2010, from 7:30am to 9:00am at Windgate Ranch in north Scottsdale. Parents can bring their children and both will receive an awesome hour of group exercise! While the parents participate in a one hour boot camp session, the kids will either swim or go inside for gymnastics, dancing, etc. The event is FREE, and any donations collected will be given to Phoenix Children's Hospital. It's a great way to show your kids that fitness is fun!!

If you don't have children, we'd still love to have you attend! Adults are welcome with or without children, so be sure to save the date!

You are welcome to forward this invitation to anyone who might be interested.

After School Activities for your Children

School has begun and you and your children are finally settling into the routine. Now comes the time to pick and choose which after school activities to put your child in. Today many schools offer multiple different programs for the children to choose from. They vary from art, dance, music, spanish, karate, gymnastics, cheerleading, and much more. There are certain things to consider when helping your child find the right one. "Children's interest and activities are as diverse as children themselves." Arizona Parenting, September 2010. By choosing the right program you can help build your child's self-esteem and by choosing the wrong activity can do the opposite. Below is a list of suggestions to remember when finding the right activity or program to suit your child.
- Watch your child play. Consider his/her temperment. Constant physical activity or quieter experiences?
-Strengths and weaknesses. Do they want to perfect those strengths or is there an area of weakness that needs to be improved on?
-Expose him/her to various activities and events. Follow what they like.
-Provide balance of group and individual activities.
-Consider commitment, cost, location before finalizing on an activity.

Kidtastics offers multiple activities throughout the Valley for your children to choose from. We welcome any child/skill level to try one of our classes for FREE. Check our list of classes at www.kidtastics.com!
