10 activities that broaden children’s education and help parents bond with their young in Hong Kong
Several activities in Hong Kong broaden children’s education and help parents build a stronger personal connection with their young.
With summer around the corner, here are 10 activities that can enable young children to let off steam – and learn important life lessons with their parents:
Swimming – Harry Wright International
Swimming can be loads of fun, and it offers much more. Babies develop motor coordination skills as they learn to be comfortable under water. A parent will assist the child in the pool. Children also learn water safety and build confidence as their swimming techniques improve.
Harry Wright International offers infant aquatics for babies from four months, and swimming lessons for older children. Adult assistance is required for tots under four.
Six sessions for HK$1,560. Various locations, including Kellett School, West Island School and clubs.
Yoga – The Yoga Room
Do you want a moment of peace while your toddler learns something new? Do you need to look after your body after pregnancy? Mom and baby yoga is the perfect playtime for mums to relax and strengthen their bodies. Gentle yoga poses and stretches can help babies’ digestion and relieve gas and colic. The exercises’ touching and non-verbal interaction help mothers bond with their babies. Classes are offered to babies from six weeks old until crawling age.
A course of 10 classes is valid for three months for HK$2,000. Sheung Wan area.
Yoga and healthy eating – Little Yogis
Yoga is not just exercise, it is a way of life. Yoga and other activities help the young improve their focus and manage emotions. At Little Yogies, yoga is practised through fun activities that unleash youngsters’ imagination. Each class consists of 40 minutes of yoga and 20 minutes of cooking in a child-friendly kitchen. Little Yogies welcomes two- and three-year-old toddlers and children aged up to eight. Tots under three are accompanied by an adult in the class.
