Swinging Mad
As a lot of us are aware, Taneesha is very passionate about the swing in the sandpit. At almost any opportunity she can get she is on that swing. She has mastered the skill of getting herself onto the swing and taking off with a hiss and a roar. She has no limits to the height she likes to go (as high as possible). Taneesha has very developed upper body strength. She can hold herself up on the swing for a very long time, swinging herself backwards and forwards. Not only is she strengthening her muscles and gross motor skills, but she is also learning about social concepts such as sharing and turn taking. Over time I have noticed Taneesha is more happy to share the swing with other children as she is now more aware she will get another turn soon.
Tino pai rawa Taneesha!

From Taneesha's interest and enjoyment of the Kidspace swing we brought her one for our new home. We have hung it in a tree in the backyard which Taneesha is loving. She is also working on sharing the swing at home with her brother and sister
