Patrick is the father of two young girls who do ballet and Irish dancing and wont allow his daughters to wear make up for dance currently because he feels they are too young - but the interview is not about his views on make up, but about his views on how enrichment activities such as dance can improve academic outcomes and teach soft skills children will take into their adult lives.⁣ ⁣ Tap the link in my bio to read the article @danceparent101⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .

During my Interview with Dr Patrick Capriola he me During my Interview with Dr Patrick Capriola he mentioned how he and his wife do not mind paying or even travelling further for an enrichment activity if the teacher is good - then it is worth it!⁣ ⁣ He also talks about how he regulates the amount of activities his daughters participate in by thinking of them as seasons of interest and how extra-curricular activity can benefit children learning 'soft skills' which they can use in adulthood.

Tap the link in my bio to read the article @dancep Tap the link in my bio to read the article @danceparent101⁣ ⁣ Ok so I am not going to lie - I am still working on becoming a good dance parent. At our studio dance photos, I turned up thinking I was all organized only to find out my daughter who has just started on the comp team needed jazz tights and not the ballet ones she was wearing. She also had nail polish on her toenails which I hadn't thought to take off her as I thought they were taking the photos in their ballet tights and shoes.... lucky someone lent her a pair of tights and another had nail polish remover and wipes with them!!! So this is why I asked a few dance parents I knew for their opinions on how to be a good dance parent!⁣ ⁣ Have a read - maybe you agree or disagree with some of the tips? Or maybe you have a few to add in the comments below!
With the holiday season upon us, remember our kids With the holiday season upon us, remember our kids and family want us to spend time on them most, not money! So why not do something active with them like go for a run, play hide and seek around the house or put on a playlist and have a dance party!
I interviewed Dr Patrick Capriola creator of the w I interviewed Dr Patrick Capriola creator of the website strategiesforparents.com recently about the benefits of students participating in sport and enrichment activities such as dance. He gave many compelling reasons why parents should enrol their children into organised activity and gave us a back stage pass to how he and his girls selects the activities they will participate in and how he likes to think of participation as being in seasons to regulate the amount they do. ⁣ ⁣ Tap the link in my bio to read the article @danceparent101 ⁣ .⁣ .
What do you do when your child doesn't want to con What do you do when your child doesn't want to continue with their dance classes after you have paid for the term, the recital costume, the exams, their shoes, their uniform.....⁣ ⁣ I have four kids and at some point in time they have all said it, and that is fine, I don't mind them not continuing the activity..... but they have to stick it out until the end of the term or year or which ever we have committed to doing! But just exactly how do you do that without them having a tantrum or fighting you on it every time it is time to get ready and go? ⁣ ⁣ Having some experience in this matter, I have put together an article that utilizes 3 steps that generally work, whether it is a week before the next lesson or even 30 minutes before. I really hope some of the suggestions and solutions helps another parent out there build that resilience and grit we all want for our kids!⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #danceparent #danceparents #danceparent101 #dancemums #balletmom #dancemoms #dancemom #dancedad #dancedads #dancer #balletlovers #peacefulparenting #kidsdance #instadance #dancers #ballet #growthmindset #yesbrain #icantyet #dancekid #dancekids #instadance #Dances #balletdancer #dancelife #gritandgrace #grit #resilience #danceteacher #instaballet
