Keep It Short & Simple

I adore the word "Simplicity" it can mean freedom from confusion and offer clarity by breaking down a complex issue into short simple and clear information.

Many Special Needs Children and Adults suffer from disorientation and overload of sensors before they even sit down to try and learn something, so it will always help firstly to address the sensory issues and then proceed clearly with the task in hand, remembering the acronym K.I.S.S. Keep It Short & Simple.

MaxiSteps is focusing on K.I.S.S.

Having A Good Posture

As a child I can remember in the evenings sitting at the family dining table, no sooner had I relaxed and slouched down then whack, my father gave me a quick flick on my knuckles with a spoon, I would automatically sit up straight to attention. At the time I thought he was too military with me and was always getting on my case. Now I can thank him for all the hundreds of times he reminded me to keep my back straight. Thanks Dad I am grateful.

Guess what, history repeats itself, I am doing the same thing with my own son, verbally of course with a little push in the back. Although we are in another time of history some things have not changed, our spines serve us better and longer by giving them some respect, straight at that.

I have become quite observant how many people have bad postures, more and more I notice young children, including children with special needs. According to my friend “Ted the fitness guru” he explained how it takes strong discipline to command your brain to remind your body to operate, the body more than often looks for the easy way out, it’s lazy, this also applies for facial muscles, remember to smile!

Incorporated into the MaxiSteps project is a section on posture. Let's get it right from an early stage, we can avoid a lot of pain later on in life.
