On April 25, the retailer joined forces with WeWork to bring a yoga and movement class to those families celebrating Take Our Sons and Daughters to Work Day at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yelp.com\/biz\/wework-corporate-hq-new-york\">WeWork Chelsea HQ<\/a> in New York City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond Athleta, a new crop of athletic programs is translating exercise into something parents and their children can\u2014and should\u2014do together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For some families, this is already second nature. Vadim Shoykhet\u2019s parents started&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/physiqueswimming.com\/\">Physique Swim School<\/a>&nbsp;in New Jersey in 1997 after his family immigrated to the U.S. from the former Soviet Union, where his mother and father were professional swim coaches. In 2004, Shoyket moved to New York to attend college, and he brought Physique Swim School to Manhattan with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 15 years since, Shoyket has watched his younger students\u2014many of whom he taught to swim&nbsp;himself\u2014grow up, and has seen how the sport has affected their development into adulthood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen children learn to swim, they\u2019re doing themselves more favors than simply learning how to navigate through the water,\u201d says Shoyket, a member at New York\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wework.com\/buildings\/25-broadway--new-york-city--NY\">WeWork 25 Broadway<\/a>. \u201cSwimming skills can help a child develop the mental, emotional, and physical strength necessary to develop and grow into a healthy and successful adult.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Shoyket, a recent study in Australia and New Zealand showed that children who were engaged in swimming scored significantly better than the general population on cognitive language skills and mental development. And swimming, as with other physical activities, also helps improve coordination and balance, and develop muscle tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Physique Swim School allows children to start swimming at an early age, offering \u201cMe &amp; My Shadow\u201dparent-child classes&nbsp;for kids as young as 4 months old. The trust that materializes in the pool between parents and their young children is palpable, and according to Shoyket, it can last a lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe bond that the child creates with their parents in the water really grows outside the water, as well,\u201d he says. \u201cAs the kids get older, they\u2019re able to transition into working with a teacher. It\u2019s the building block that allows them to be open to receiving instructions from an instructor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As children progress beyond swim floaties and paddle toward adolescence, that bond is more important than ever. At&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/mentorfoundationusa.org\/\">Mentor Foundation USA<\/a>, an organization that works to prevent and reduce youth substance abuse and promote health and wellbeing, president and CEO Michaela Pratt sees that firsthand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mentor Foundation USA estimates that the quality of parent-child relationships is 10 times more powerful than demographics in predicting whether children develop critical character strengths, and Pratt believes that goes back to the investment parents make in their relationships with their children. Something simple like volunteering to coach their child\u2019s little league team\u2014one of the recommendations made to parents\u2014goes a long way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cParents understand what an enormous responsibility, but also ability, they have to guide their young children,\u201d says Pratt, a member at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wework.com\/buildings\/1775-tysons-blvd--washington-DC\">WeWork 1775 Tysons Blvd<\/a> in Washington, D.C. \u201cIt\u2019s about combining the work world to fit your needs to be the best at what you can be, not only at work, but also at home, and combine the two to have a healthier life for yourself and your children.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Debra Giunta founded dance education company&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.designdance.net\/\">Design Dance<\/a>&nbsp;in 2008 with a similar mission: to bring dance education to children through partnerships with schools and community centers. Growing up dancing in the south suburbs of Chicago, Giunta, a member at Chicago\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wework.com\/buildings\/1-w-monroe-st--chicago--IL\">WeWork 1 W Monroe St<\/a>, found dance to be uniquely therapeutic in a way she hopes to pass along to children and their parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDance is both a physical activity and an artistic activity, so when we move, we can really access emotions and thoughts that we\u2019re not accessing regularly,\u201d she says. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of feelings and memories that live in the body that we\u2019re not consciously thinking about, but when we move, we\u2019re able to access those things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like Physique Swim School\u2019s \u201cMe &amp; My Shadow\u201d course, Design Dance advocates for tandem parent-and-child movement. In 2017, Giunta launched an offshoot for children between ages 3 and 5 called&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.movementthatmatters.co\/\">The Groove<\/a>, which focuses on the needs of families affected by disability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA lot of people think they need to learn how to dance in order to engage with dance,\u201d she says. \u201cBut I always use the analogy of a wedding. If you go to a wedding, you have a bunch of people who would never call themselves dancers, but who hear music and get up and dance and have a great time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brands and programs may make it seamless for parents to incorporate physical activity into their family lives. But there\u2019s no need to wait until Take Our Sons and Daughters to Work Day to enjoy the benefits of. Shoyket, for one, encourages parents to incorporate swimming beyond the lap pool and into their family\u2019s leisure time; look for a local pool\u2019s open-swim hours or organize a beach day one Saturday once summer hits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen parents can find a way to incorporate that into their family life,\u201d says Giunta, \u201cit can be really impactful throughout the course of their child\u2019s life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below, three ways for parents to incorporate movement into their family\u2019s everyday lifestyle:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Make long road trips a dance party.&nbsp;<\/strong>While the kids are safely strapped into the backseat, Giunta recommends putting on your family\u2019s favorite playlist and grooving to the beat of the music\u2014as much as the seatbelt will allow, of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Put on a yoga class on YouTube and turn the living room into a studio.<\/strong>&nbsp;There are plenty of options for full families or even just for a parent and child. What\u2019s even better is that many of these tutorials are 10 minutes or less. Your younger children will be pleased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When the weather cooperates, plan a beach (or pool) outing.<\/strong>&nbsp;Make a day of it. \u201cFamilies can incorporate swim through leisure time\u2014the love for water\u2014by going to the beach, a pool, or a water park,\u201d says Shoyket. \u201cIt creates a bonding experience for them.\u201d Pack plenty of snacks and, obviously, SPF.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Building bonds and committing to fun are just some of the benefits of family
