Shortly after this tower building contest, the babysitters, if you will, had all of the children sit at the…

The sport itself really is irrelevant when it comes to this idea. Any sport will teach a child motor skills and as long as they are putting their dirty clothes away, operant conditioning. Really that is what is important, that the child is learning and developing into a healthy human…
