Kinderkineticists fall in the health promotion paradigm. This involves offering exercise programmes that are scientifically-based to stimulate the young child according to their psycho-physical developmental stage in order to reach optimal development. Yet, this area overlaps into the pathogenic paradigm because kinderkineticists also perform therapy on children who are pre-diagnosed with clinical conditions, such as Down syndrome, Autism, Cerebral Palsy and Obesity.

 

 

Kinderkinetics plays a vital role in identifying and minimising learning difficulties within children. 
Kinderkinetics is a scientifically based movement program that aims to develop every child to their optimal level.
 

Is there a problem? 
 

In this day and age children are being exposed to far less movement than they were in the past. This is due to both the influence of technology and the removal of physical education from the school curriculum. Coupled with the rise in obesity levels children are not as active as they were in the past.
 

How addressed? 
 

We do this in the form of activities and games in order to get the child’s full participation and to ensure that they are fully motivated to perform the particular skills. There is a lot of science involved in working on various skills of children in these games. Each session is specifically designed and progresses each week. This means that the program adjusts to the children’s needs.
 

Something to consider. 
 

Movement is vital for the development of a child’s physical, cognitive and social characteristics. Many children who appear to be normal at first sight may experience complications with the acquisition and performance of fundamental motor skills and these children are often mistaken as being clumsy.
