My Circle of Girls Gets Moving with The Little Gym
Durham, NC – Running, jumping and flipping are just a few exciting physical activities My Circle of Girls’ participants will partake in at an upcoming gymnastics event at The Little Gym scheduled on Sunday, March, 8, 2015. Girls with living with autism in the Triangle and surrounding areas are invited to the specialized session guided by the location’s three-dimensional learning approach created in a positive and experiential environment. The excitement will begin at 2 p.m. and conclude at 3:30 p.m.
Physical activity is good for all children as it promotes overall fitness and well being. According to the internationally-known Autism Speaks website, besides the obvious benefits of physical activity, some advantages of physical activity for children with autism can include “decrease in frequency of negative, self-stimulating behaviors that are common among individuals with autism, while not decreasing other positive behaviors.” Furthermore, positive social implications may become present in organized physical activities such as sports. “Physical activity can promote self-esteem, increase general levels of happiness, and can lead to positive social outcomes.”
Girls ages 2-11 are invited to register for some serious fun with My Circle of Girls and The Little Gym by emailing mycircl...@gmail.com by Sunday, March 1, 2014. Details about the event will be given once the participant is registered.
