Zumbini taster session – with Nicola Parkinson.
Zumbini is a movement to music class for 0–4-year-olds.
My Name is Nicola Parkinson, I am an Osteopath, Neurodevelopment Therapist, a Meditation Teacher and a Zumbini Instructor.
A Zumbini taster session. This is a music to movement class for 0-4 yr olds.
Caregiver participation is required in the form of singing and dancing with your little ones. I will provide instruments- rattles and bells and song sheets for you and your child to use in the session which is a 45 min class and includes singing, dancing, and instruments for the little ones and parents to use.
These classes are a lot of fun and you will see how each child learns differently, as some children will fully take part, and some children will just watch whilst other children will just listen. This is all according to how your child learns, but ultimately, they will begin to incorporate the skills that zumbini can teach them in a fun and friendly format.
Zumbini is run in the format of 6 weekly block sessions, and you will see how much fun you and your child has in these sessions, as children need to be able to reach certain milestone movements so by the time we go to school we are expected to be able to sit still, focus, concentrate and understand school and all the information given to us all day. This can be hard for a lot of children to do as they first begin school. The Zumbini programme incorporates fun with learning as these young brains are all in imagination and so they learn best when it is fun. Through song and movement this helps children develop balance, coordination, crossing the midline, hand eye coordination whilst helping to integrate primitive reflexes. This then helps the brain and body to be able to accommodate the fine motor skills needed for sitting, focus and concentration at school.
Many children today have not quite fully developed these skills, and it goes on to affect their quality and depth of education, and even some children can retain a primitive reflex which can develop into a learning difficulty e.g. dyslexia, so why not come and try a taster of some of the things included in a class.
