I'm so EXCITED!!
I dont know if you all know that my son 18 months has been a terror the last week or so. I have enrolled him this gym and he has his frist calss today. They have classes 6 days a week and he will interact with other kids. I am hoping that this will help him release some of his energy and he wont be so crazy. LOL Plus he's not in daycare or anything so he can learn some social skills and get out of the house. Just wanted to share.
Have a great day
Amber

My daughter goes to day care and I think it helps a lot. She is 14 1/2 months old and she is more likly to mimic the other kids than me (good or bad). The main issue is finding the right day care. Someone you can trust. I think she is developing all four areas (cognitive, social, physical, and emotional) better than she would if she were just home with me. I think you will see a big difference in your son with the interaction. Good luck!

I hope it helps, too, but remember it's not a necessity in order for your children to develop correctly. I've thought of doing a gymboree thing, but it's not in our budget right now...plus, it's easy to get caught up in all the "social development" hype. Your son is still young enough to need mom and dad moreso than other kids; that'll come soon enough! All they need is human interaction - getting down on their level and playing with them. I sometimes find it difficult to remember to do the work when it comes to actually playing with my son, so perhaps this gym class will help this area happen for your little guy.
Why do you think he's been acting up so much lately? Has anything changed in his routine? Hope the class is fun for both of you!

I dont know what his deal is. The only thing that has changed lately is his paydates, he usually has a play date once a week with my friend and her 2 kids and the last 2 weeks they have been sick but other than that nothing. I think that maybe he's just bored because he doesnt go to preschool and he's with me all the time. I just thought that if he had something to and other kids to play with a couple times a week he might not be so bored and hopefully not through so many fits and the thing I like about the class is that they encourage the parents to stay so I'm thinking that it will be a good experience and something for him to look forward to

Hey girls so we went and he had a BLAST!! He had some much fun and really got into it, the only thing that kinda freaked me out was this dad who brought his sone to the class with GREEN thick boogies DRIPPING down his face and sneezing ALL over the place. I was so skeaved out I can;t even tell you I sanitized my son's hand like 10 times after class. Why you know I would never bring my son around other kids if he was sick. Christopher just got over being sick and he's going through this tantrum face I could not emotionally handle him sick on top of all the other things. So I might end up changeing his class because I don't feel that that father is very respectfull of other parents and children and that makes me nervous.
