My little nephew came and visit me some months back and he decided to stay with me somehow over the weekend. It has been a long while I have to take care 'little boy' and was a bit nervous. (the feeding time, shower and PLAY with them) ha ha.
Anyhow, things went on well with the help of Qin Kai and the we spend a long time on the yoga mat; the little boy enjoyed the activities so much, he is also very corporative when I told him: ' Ah Yi like to take some photos of you in the yoga pose', you can see for yourself the outcome ^-^
There's no need to have complex science when come to deal with kids (no matter how old they are; this is my personal experience). The secret is you need to be at the present with them and with your love to them (Trust me, they can feel it!!)
The little boy also enjoy the story-telling and massaging time. I am grateful as I have access to the nice story book from Sanctuary Book House in Kota Kemuning; he might get bored but if you know how to 'read' and make the story exciting - you will be impressed how he will share with you his view point from the story book. Isn't that great.
I do not have any special tricks when come to massage, just a gentle stroke on the palms and feet (you can use any essential oil or just the baby oil) - the feeling is so good (you can try this on your spouse also) and I am sure no one will resist that.
Check out the upcoming event 2012 Malaysia Children Yoga Teacher Training Course conducted by R. Tamminga'. You will be happy you didn't miss these workshop and bring home how to teach & guide toddler, young children, teenage yoga, stroy telling as well as yoga massage.
Yoga is not just asana and not just for adults. Yoga is for ALL. I have a lot of beautiful experience the past 16 months and I am sure more will come.
Namaste
