~Key differences in teaching children:
Children’s basic ability to control their bodies is generally much better than the average adult. Take an activity like squatting most 4 years old can squat relatively easily where as most adults will struggle.

They are more used to learning and are generally better at following instructions that relate to their bodies. Where as many adults that come for lessons over the age of fifty haven’t learned any kinaesthetic skill since they learned to drive a car.

Children require less explanation they simply need to be told and shown what to do where as adults often perform better when they understand why they are required to perform a particular action and how it is likely to benefit. In other words, children tend to possess a greater degree of trust

Young children tend to have better posture and move more freely than most adults. They also have less physical tension and a better range of motion.

Another huge advantage children have over adults is that they don’t have so many habitual movement patterns. So unlike adults have less unlearning to do.
Children, on the other hand, have shorter attention spans and therefore the teaching needs to at a faster pace and more fun.

Negative experiences can haunt a person the whole of their life.

~F.M Alexander believed it was more important to work with children than their parents.
He believed if the good posture young children naturally possess could be maintained many of the problems people face in later life could be avoided.
This is exactly the same for swimming.
