Lecture: Supporting Children's Development
To provide a child with the most suitable developmental environment, it is helpful to raise parents' awareness of the child's functional abilities, prerequisites for activities, and age-appropriate development. This enables better understanding of children's behavior, the creation of the best opportunities for their individual mental and physical growth, and early recognition of the need for intervention.
A child's functional ability is influenced not only by their environment but also by their individual sensory sensitivity. A deeper understanding of these influences helps to support the child’s well-being, development, and strengthens the relationship between child and adult.
Topics:
- You will get an overview of children's developmental stages and daily activities that support growth.
- You will learn how to recognise a child's individual needs and offer activities tailored to those needs.
- The connections between the environment and a child's behaviour will be explained, including potential sensory differences and how the environment affects their abilities and development.
- You'll receive guidance on how to make environmental adjustments that enhance functional ability.
- Ideas for meaningful activities with children will be shared, along with explanations of their impact.
- Examples will be given of how children's behaviour relates to their ability to cope with various activities.
Some of the topics covered include:
- Why it’s important for babies to put things in their mouths and explore through mess.
- How rolling down a hill as a toddler relates to the ability to focus.
- Why developing literacy isn't just about practising writing but also requires climbing and playing ball.
- How climbing relates to speech development, and how swinging is linked to mathematical skills.
- Possible reasons why a child might struggle to sit still and tips for helping them focus better on tasks, and much more.

Virtual Dad and Baby Yoga
A father and baby yoga class offers them an opportunity to create a stronger bond with each other through calm and supportive movements that are both fun and relaxing.
Class Structure:
- We start with soothing breathing exercises to focus on the moment and create a peaceful connection with your baby. The baby can be held by the father or lie on the mat, feeling the rhythm of the father's breathing.
- Stretching and gentle movements where the father and baby maintain closeness and perform fun, engaging exercises together, like gentle rocking or soft lifts.
- Gentle baby massage that relaxes muscles, improves circulation, and supports digestion.
- Soft and gentle movements for the baby’s arms and legs to develop motor skills and body awareness.
- Tummy time exercises that strengthen the baby’s neck and back muscles, supporting crawling.
- Creative exercises using sensory tools that help the baby explore the world and establish a connection with both themselves and their surroundings.
- The class ends with a calming final relaxation, where the father and baby can breathe and relax together, offering a peaceful and intimate moment for both.
The yoga class is suitable for babies from 1 month old up until they start walking. Come and enjoy movement and quality time together!

Pilates is a full-body workout focused on core strength, flexibility, and balance. During classes, we use various equipment to enhance full-body movement and provide a dynamic workout experience. With controlled movements and deep breathing, Pilates improves posture, muscle tone, and overall well-being. It's perfect for all fitness levels and promotes a strong, balanced, and flexible body. Regular practice can reduce stress, prevent injuries, and improve overall physical and mental health.
For your safety and well-being, we kindly ask that you refrain from joining Pilates classes during late pregnancy or before 8 weeks postpartum. It's important to give your body the necessary time to recover. We look forward to welcoming you back when the time is right!
It would be great to have a yoga mat, yoga block, Pilates ball and Pilates ring. If you don’t have any equipment at home, don’t worry - you can easily perform all the exercises without them.
