Raring2go! Clubs & Classes 25 Little Kickers have four different football classes each tailored to a different age group. However, they have two core beliefs that we take into every session. Firstly, they believe in something we call “Play not Push”. It means teaching football in a fun, pressurefree environment. They want to give children a positive introduction to sport as a whole, not just football, so they’re more likely to stay healthy and active throughout their lives. Secondly, they believe football can be educational. Coached in the right way it can stimulate imagination and aid early development skills such as learning colours and numbers, following instructions and playing as a team. It’s an approach that has bagged them numerous awards and helped them expand globally over the last 16 years. And like all their Kickers, they never stop learning. They’re continually improving and updating classes, based on feedback and input from child health specialists as well as their network of over 2,250 football coaches worldwide. If you’d like to know how Little Kickers started you can read more them here www.littlekickers.co.uk For more details about local classes call 07532180852 Email bmorton@littlekickers.co.uk

Nurturing an unusual hobby can help kids develop unique talents and a lifelong love of learning from an early age. For the creatively inclined, art classes or obscure crafts like calligraphy, woodworking or jewellery-making allow children to get hands-on. Those with analytical minds may enjoy strategic board games, puzzles or coding clubs that encourage logic and problemsolving skills. Aspiring explorers could join an archaeology group, astronomy club or get stuck into gardening or beekeeping. Even video gaming, driving simulators or model train building can nurture skills like spatial awareness and dexterity. Historic reenactment societies teach appreciation for our heritage. And for adrenaline-seekers, rock climbing or martial arts make exciting hobbies. The possibilities are endless for channeling a child's inquisitive nature into an enriching passion project. An unusual pursuit provides the perfect opportunity to develop expertise in a niche area from a young age. More importantly, finding their "thing" boosts confidence and self-expression. With an open mind and some gentle guidance, you may just unearth your child's quirkiest hobby - and watch their interests flourish.
