Children's balance skills are declining, but simple movement can make a big difference.

Accredited Exercise Scientist of the Year 2025 Joshua Short shares that most children aren't getting enough opportunities to move and develop their balance. He created a five-minute balance test screening tool which allows for early identification and intervention, urging parents that "the earlier you act, the better the result".

Accredited Exercise Physiologist and ESSA CEO Katie Lyndon suggests implementing simple movement like climbing, hopscotch or balancing on one foot into your child's everyday routine.

Obstacle courses are a simple, low-pressure way to support your child’s development through play.

They can make movement feel fun and achievable, helping children build a positive relationship with physical activity.

They build movement skills, confidence, problem-solving, and body awareness—using everyday items you already have at home.

Sleep is one of the three key pillars in the Australian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for children — alongside physical activity and screen time.

But it’s often one that’s not spoken about as much!

Sleep plays a huge role in how children learn, regulate, and function day to day. And when it’s off, we often see it show up in behaviour, energy, and attention.

This isn’t about perfect routines or getting it right every night. It’s about recognising that across a full 24 hours, sleep, movement and downtime all work together — and even small changes can make a difference.

But we aren’t sleep experts.. if sleep is still feeling really challenging and you feel like you’ve tried it all, it can be helpful to speak with:
• your GP
• a paediatrician
• a child & family health nurse

Today we are sharing an appreciation post for our clients who show up and work hard to achieve their goals!

We love when our sessions are filled with laughter, fun and good conversations!

Here’s a reminder that exercise doesn’t have to be serious to be effective. - We love when people bring their favourite toy in to join us, put their own spin on the exercises we complete, and make each session their own.

Thank you for always working hard, bringing the fun, and making every session brighter!

Many parents still wonder whether strength training is safe for kids.

For years, people believed lifting weights could be harmful for growing bodies. But research now shows that when strength training is age-appropriate, supervised, and focused on good technique, it is safe and highly beneficial for children and adolescents.

Strength training can help support bone development, build strong muscles and tendons, improve coordination, reduce injury risk, and boost confidence.

And for kids, strength training doesn’t have to mean heavy weights in a gym — it often looks like bodyweight exercises, climbing, resistance bands, swimming, and learning new movement skills.

Swipe through to learn more about the benefits and recommendations for youth strength training 💪
