Could not agree more with balanced mama
@balancedmama. And here are my 2cents2 cents that iI have kept reserved for my 3mnths dd3 month old.
After reading many articles and viewing many shows in discovery etc, iI am thinking that, speed and balance are 2 things that can make a strong base for further physical developments.
Where balance can be brought effectively by YOGA
yoga and gymnastics
gymnastics, I have copied a technique to improve reaction time from a research episode of discovery on martial arts, to design a little gadget.
Here I will only speak about my design and idea for improvement of speed aka reaction time
and reaction time.
Some 1 or 2 yrsyears ago, I was viewing an episode on martial arts which is calculatingcalculated their skills in terms of numbers. And the way they calculate the speed is really interesting. They have a pollpole with 5-6 pads sticking out with a light on every pad, the participants were then made to hit the corresponding pad as soon as light beeps and records have been made of reaction time
their reaction times.
Now I don't think I have to detail my idea and design. We can simply adapt the above idea to practice and iI am damn sure it will work a miracle if practiced from an early age. We can replace the light with bells to make hearing as sharp as viewing.
