Content of courses

Exercises and games for gentle water acclimatisation. For babies, water means something familiar through prenatal experiences in the mother's belly. They enjoy the twosomeness with the parent. The closeness to the body deepens the parent child contact. The adults learn different handholds in the positioning of the children. Songs and games edge the discovery of the water. During the exercises, babies reach for specific objects and explore them with their mouths. Core elements of movements are built up. The courses take place in 32 - 34 °C warm water.

Requirements

More complex connections are recognized by the child. Cause and effect lead to an understanding of noise development. Visual exploration goes hand in hand with mouth and tongue palpation. The breathing mechanism is stimulated. The biological functions of the skeletal muscles and the balance are developed. Here too, songs and games surround the exercise sequences, in which the curiosity of the children is awakened in many ways.
The courses take place in 32 - 34 °C warm water.

Goals:

- gentle reduction of the child's fears

- Getting used to the element water (temperature, water pressure, eyes, nose, mouth, ears)

- Teaching skills to parents to practice with the child themselves

- Guidance to the floating position on the back with the help of the parents
