Proud Parents’ Guide to Raising Athletic, Balanced, and Coordinated Kids: A Lifetime of Benefit in Just 10 Minutes a Day
Nashville, TN – Whether you are raising the next Tiger Woods or the next Steve Jobs, Proud Parents’ Guide to Raising Athletic, Balanced, and Coordinated Kids (ISBN: 9978-0-7852-2822-6, September, $16.99) will give you the tools to guide your children through the early stages of development. In this book you will find a step-by-step handbook to nurturing your child’s growing body and mind.
From her many years of experience as a parent, an NCAA tennis player, and a coaching instructor for the Special Olympics and the United States Tennis Association, Karen Ronney has learned that a child’s future success begins with the little things that we learn in those early stages.
In her two-part handbook, Ronney offers parents a program for children ages 0-6. The first part explains the stages of child development and focuses on topics that include:
• Physical fitness,
• Motor development,
• Coordination and sidedness,
• Sensory integration, and
• Rules of fair play.
In Part 2, Ronney offers 200 age appropriate games for you and your child that will develop balance, strength, and flexibility. The book includes new games such as Bubble Tennis and Tiny Toe Alert as well as traditional games like Jumping Rope and Backyard T-Ball that can be played in just 10 minutes while offering a lifetime of benefit.
According to the Director of The Healthy Living Project at Children’s Healthcare Medical Associates of San Diego, Whitney Carr Edwards, M.D., “The choices you make for your kids today are likely to influence them for the rest of their lives. So get you kids and start playing.”
Karen Ronney, an accomplished NCAA tennis player and a world touring pro, used her bachelor degrees in journalism and public relations to become a seasoned writer for several prestigious publications, including the Los Angeles Times, San Diego Tribune, Los Angeles Daily News, and Chicago Tribune. A professional journalist for more than twenty years, Ronney has also spent fifteen years as a dynamic public speaker and twenty five years as a professional sports coach.
