Waldorf Rose Kindergartners Cross the Balance Beam on their Morning Walk

‘Heel to toe, heel to toe!’ Rose Kindergartens cross the balance beam on their morning walk. Balance is the ability to maintain a controlled body position during task performance, whether it is sitting at a table, walking the balance beam or stepping up onto a kerb. To function effectively across environments and tasks, you need the ability to maintain controlled positions during both static (still) and dynamic (moving) activities. Age appropriate balance and coordination allows the child to be involved in the sports participation too with a reasonable degree of success as it aids fluid body movement for physical skill performance.
