     "10 Ways to be a Better Parent" was one of the features on the "Today Show" this morning.  Of special interest, is the fact that it was suggested parents should get children away from the television, computer, electronic games, etc. and spend some "one-on-one" time with them.  This special kind of time should provide children with opportunities to be creative and provide many "teachable moments" for life lessons and social skills.

     We know it is often difficult to come up with fun ideas for these special times that don't involve the usual toys or activities.  We are the solution for you!  Read our Examiner postings each week!  We provide easy, fun creative movement activities that revolve around a different theme each week.  We divide these weekly activities into 5 sections: SPARK (learning about the idea or theme for the week's activities);SHINE (individual activities);DAZZLE (partner or cooperative activities); HIGHLIGHT (introduces relevant, related ideas or material for activities);and REFLECTION (gives extension ideas and activities). 

     Our site (direct link is http://www.examiner.com/x-1936-Movement-Education-Examiners), will not only give you great ideas to share with your children, but will help your children learn the Fundamentals of Movement while you are enjoying your time together.  How much better can it get:  Spending quality time, Getting physically fit, Engaging children's minds and creativity, and Having fun!
