Today, we introduced plastic sit down scooters with handles.  These scooters help strengthen the upper and lower body, help to develop muscles and gross motor skills, help to improve coordination and posture.  While riding the scooters, the children have to practice strict safety rules to keep from getting injured.  This is not always an easy thing for three year olds to do because it is normal for young children to act impulsively. Impulsive behaviors are actions a child makes without consideration of the consequences. Discussing possible positive and negative consequences before hand and setting limits and rules can decrease trouble and/or injury.  Then most importantly, provide positive feedback when behavior is appropriate.
