✨ LITTLE EYES ARE WATCHING… WHAT WILL THEY SEE? ✨

We often tell our kids to be active, to get outside, to move their bodies —
but what do they see when they look at us?

Children absorb so much more from what we do than what we say.
Their relationship with movement, self-care, and fitness begins by watching ours.

Have you ever asked yourself:
• 💭 Do I speak about exercise as a punishment or a privilege?
• 💭 Do I model movement as part of daily life — or a chore to fit in?
• 💭 What message do I give when I skip movement because I’m “too busy” or “too tired”?
• 💭 Am I teaching them that exercise is for everyone — or just for the sporty ones?
• 💭 Have I ever shown them that it’s okay to move just for joy?
• 💭 And… do we ever move together, as a family?

This isn’t about guilt — it’s about awareness. Because when we know better, we can do better.
You don’t need a gym or a full hour — you just need small, intentional moments:

🏃‍♂️ Go for a post-dinner walk
🕺 Do a silly dance-off in the kitchen
⛹️ Play a game of catch or hopscotch
🚶 Take the long route when you’re out together
🌳 Make Sunday a family hike or nature walk
👟 Let them see you choose movement

Because when little eyes see movement as normal, joyful and valuable…
they carry that forward for life.

What we’re most proud of at our camps? The fact that we never overbook! We prioritise small group numbers because we know just how powerful that is — more attention, more encouragement, more fun. It’s a difference you can feel 🥹💚

But it does mean that camps book out very quickly - genuinely a case of once they’re gone, they’re gone 🤣

Book in now! ...

🎯 When encouragement is louder than ability, confidence grows.
He missed the first throw.
And the second.
But his instructor never stopped believing in him.

👉 “You’ll get it!”
👉 “I believe in you!”
👉 “You’re doing so well!”

On the third try — he got it.
And just look at the joy on his face. 💛

This is what small group teaching is all about.
Not being the best.
Not getting it first time.
But feeling supported every single time.

👶✨ At RINKA, we don’t count how many times they fall —
we cheer every time they try again.

✨ From the Bottom of My Heart – Thank You ✨

I just wanted to take a moment to share something really special…

This is the busiest we have ever been at RINKA – and it’s all thanks to you 🙏

Thank you for believing in what we do.
Thank you for trusting us with your children.
Thank you for showing up, week after week, and for being part of this mission.

When I started RINKA, my dream was to create a space where every child could feel good about movement – not just the sporty ones. A place where confidence grows, fun is central, and lifelong healthy habits begin. To see that vision now reaching more families than ever before is incredibly humbling🥹

We truly couldn’t do this without your support, your kind words, and your belief in the bigger picture.

So from myself and the whole RINKA team – thank you. You are such a valued part of this journey, and we’re so excited for what’s ahead✨

Here’s to continuing to move, grow, and thrive – together 💚

Here’s a few thoughts to consider and I’d love you to share your thoughts and questions in the comments..

Sedentary habits don’t appear from nowhere. They’re shaped by the world our children are growing up in:

⚡ We live in a fast-paced world, where children’s schedules are often packed and downtime is limited.
📱 We live in a digital world, where screens are always within reach and movement isn’t always needed for entertainment.
🚪 And we live in a world that doesn’t always feel as safe as it once did—playing outside ‘til dark’ just isn’t the norm anymore.

🧠 To understand your child’s sedentary habits, ask yourself:
▪️ When is my child most likely to be still—by choice or by habit?
▪️ What seated activities hold their attention most, and why do they enjoy them?
▪️ If they resist movement, is it due to tiredness, boredom, or maybe confidence?

🧭 To deepen your own understanding, ask yourself:
▪️ What messages do I give (even silently) about screens, rest, and movement?
▪️ Do I assume a quiet child is a content one—or could they be under-stimulated or low in energy?

If you want ideas on how to introduce more movement into your child’s day, tell me in the comments 🤗
