Jad, this link http://picasaweb.google.es/ahazbun/ExplorationRoom?authkey=zSOkGGJ1C-c# is a web album of our learning spaces.
There´s a lot of info, so if you have questions regarding a specifica area, just ask.
17  EARLY LEARNING / Teaching Your Child - Other Topics / Re: Anybody teaching their child to be "physicallly superb"? on: August 24, 2009, 01:50:22 AM
Waterdreamer,
I have found none good sites of info, apart from reading the book, the booklets (there is one for every thing, running, brachiation, etc) and joinig the IAHP forum, where you must have taken the courses. I strongly reccomend the book and booklets BECAUSE they explain the phylosophy behind and you get clarity to where YOU want to go with your child. That´s why IAHP doesnt have a curriculum, just suggested schedules.
Some advices so it actually works.
1. Have a binder with a section of each thing you are doing. Ex: brachiation and running. Write down EVERY day what you did. Why? In the long run you get the feeling you are not doing anything, because the results in a boy that´s 4yo will take longer than on a bay. If you actually can read what you did every day, you can build on it. Ex: 5 ways of trying to get him not to be afraid on brachiation, didn´t work. Maybe I can combine ways #3 and 4, for instance.
2. DON´T STOP. If after 1 or 2 weeks it´s too much for you, cut it down 50%. Be honest, if you are capable of continuing and you are cranky it´s no good anyway. Trust me, start slow. After a while you are so organize and it´s so part of your day, you don´t even feel it, and you are ready to move on to something more challenging. Rememeber it´s a work of YEARS.
3. Talk only positive to your child and always the truth: the better his awareness and control of his own body, the more independent he his. That´s the ultimate objective, not beating so and so in running or mastering brachiation 120%, because throughout time they will develop their tastes and liking, and maybe running won´t be one of them. If he is not guided correctly and this happens, this will be added to his negative experiences in his self esteem department, BUT if it was positive, even if he stops running he will build on it: I know my body better, I know my limits better, I know I can concentrate and achieve whatever.
4. From the beginning be clear with rules: they are ready to follow them even at months old. Never it is good to let them do some things because they are too small to do what they are really supposed to afterwards when they are older: before running you HAVE to warm up, if he has a tantrum because of this, well...that day the PRIVILEGE of running is taking away.
It´s not easy, you will develop self awareness of your brain development as well as you do the program. It´s a path of guiding and setting free, guiding again and setting free again, and so on. For this there can not be a curriculum programed. Spend the money on the books, I think you can buy them online.

Waterdreamer:
I got a brachiation ladder when my son was 1,5 yo, and he too was afraid. I have heard these before from other IAHP families. It took me patience and a few months to make him interested, instead of willing to try it. Here´s the secret, he must want to on his own, so I and my husband did it daily: it´s the only way. Also, I put stuffed animals on it and made them brachiate. I also used the wall by the brachiation pannel to put blackboards and whiteboards from him to use. Here´s a link to a web album from when we first got it: http://picasaweb.google.com/ahazbun/BrachiationArea02# (how we made brachiationa area fun!). I don´t know what to do when you don´t actually own a brachiation ladder, except visit the park or wherever everyday. Another plus of your own brachiation following the IAHP model is that you can lower or rise the ladder so the child can do it nearly touching the floor or high, with the help of a parent. The thing is simple (in theory) you do it so he copies, must be daily. Encourage him only to hang at first, or go up the side ladder (if therés one) or just stay by the area. The complicated thing ( in the practice) is to do these things that seem so simple, and keep on doing them after thay have failed (or so we think because our children don´t respond in the time we estipulate to be enough). This is why there´s such a high dropout %, because parents just stop trying. There is a booklet at the institutes that you can buy on line that you should get, it´s called "Brachiation".
In regards to PHD (creeping and crawling) they are meant to do in winter, when you are somehow restrained from doing most sports because of the weather. You can do it inside your own home (there´s also a booklet called "PHD"): mark, maybe with masking tape, a route around the house you can creep in all fours, and crawl on your tommy like a baby (or like in the army, as you say), that´s furniture free. Count 100 linear meters (I´m in South America so I go by meters, but transform them into feet). It can be repetitive, as in creeping around your dining room table four times ina a row is 45 linear meters. After that, start by short distances, the first day creep and after crawl (or the other way around) 50 linear meters, and it doesn´t have to be done all at once, maybe first 20 meters, then in the afternoon 30 more, or however it works best for your child, or all at once. Invent games , you have to do it too, and I tell you, the crawling for us adults is very difficult. You can be animals on the run, or snakes or spies running from a dangerous place or whatever. In a week you should have add up to 100 linear meters daily of each, and continue non stop 100 days. This plus brachiation is essential for good development of many things that lead to healthy laterality in eyes, extremities, etc.
If you have more doubts just ask.

Garry, all of what you are doing is OK, BUT the difference is to do it with a schedule. For instance: plan her running and increase it daily. This is a sort of physical programming, in a control way you are demanding more and more from the body, and thus, from the brain. You are giving the brain the message that the body is apt for more, and the brain develops in order to make the body apt for more.
At 3 yo the better exercises are for breathing control (running, walking, swimming), eye convergence (brachiation, crawling, creeping), development of laterality (running, sports that choose a side, eg. soccer, kicking with one leg, golfing, swing with your right). These give you three oportunities: control of breathing for better speach, development of visual convergence for better reading, development of laterality for full development of the brain.
About swimming, if I undersatnd correct she uses a life jacket. She doesn´t need it. Our body is prepared to swim since an early age, months of life, and the brain knows it.
It is not about taking risks, but about transmitting a message to your daughter, one that she believes in: your body is physically prepared if you develop it and care for it respectfully. A professional athlete is not only bold when trying new things, but aware of the close relationship between conciousness of one´s body and development of one´s capacities. 3yo is old enough to understand this and start practicing on it. In the "...Physically Superb" book there are exercises and schedules to follow. Also at the IAHP there are booklets you can buy about brachiation, swimming, gymnastics. etc. The foremost objective is organization, this will give you the oportunity to relax and enjoy meanwhile you are on top of the development.
Hope my advice claryfies it.

hi everyone,
my son is 4 yo and we have been doing the program since he is 2,5 months.
Hypatia: walking every day on different surfaces: grass, inclined plane, soft hillside (or the like), up down stairs, every day more steps, total vertical ladder, brachiation ladder, walking on a balance beam. When my son was 12 months old we started the running program, he was already walking preety well.
Waterdreamer: start heavily on brachiationa and gymnastics (balance beam). Do the primary human development program: creeping and crawling daily for 100 days, 100 linear meters for each.
Any questions just ask.
Andrea H.
