Goal
Give everyone a chance to get moving and refocus their energy.
[Tip]: Have your child match their movements to various sounds and types of music. You may want to choose songs that have a strong beat.
Why is this important?
Dancing is a fun way to develop spatial and body awareness and it can be a great way to help your child shift their attention and energy between activities. Dancing also lowers stress levels and encourages creativity and self-expression.
