Play is Work – by Doreen

I attended a business presentation recently and the speaker quoted some statistics that made me sit up and take notice: “45 % of all parents feel they don’t have time to play with their children” (IKEA) “73% of all children think it’s more fun to play with their parents than watch TV”. I often hear parents say that their kids watch too much television. Now you know that YOU are the secret weapon to get your kids active!

Imagination Station by Marla

Imagination Station By Marla Montbriand This past weekend, my 2 nieces stayed the night at my house. Somewhere between going to Gymco’s Princess Party Saturday night, watching “All Dogs Go To Heaven”, and going to church with them on Sunday morning, I learned something very important from them. This may sound crazy that I, a 24 year old girl, learned something from my 8 year old and 5 year old nieces but once you read this, hopefully your eyes will be opened to the same thing next time you’re with young children.

Most all of the Gymco teachers, even those of whom have never had him in their group, know [...]

Not All Bikes are Created Equal – By Shannon

Imagine going to the store to buy a pair of jeans but they only had three sizes; 10, 12 and 20. I don’t know about you, but none of those sizes would fit me very well. This is the case with most bikes, they have very small bikes and very large bikes, but not all of the parts and pieces are adjustable. Sure you can move the seat up and down and sometimes the handle bars, but it never seems to fit just right. Most often in these cases, parents choose to buy a bike that the child can grow [...]
