What Are the Benefits of Social Exposure?
When you are putting your child in a gym setting, there are going to be multiple benefits in terms of the social exposure they are going to get from that. You can expect that you kid is going to talk more, they are going to know their numbers better, they are going to be able to act more appropriately, and they will know how to take their turns when playing with others. These are all things that kids enrolled in a program like My Gym are learning through the different activities and games we play. Some gym programs, like My Gym, have a circle time. At ours, we let the children introduce themselves every day, so they get used to saying their names and introducing themselves in public. And in general, they start getting used to the idea of just being involved more with big groups. They are gaining confidence by doing this every class, and that’s going to stick with them as they get older. So that’s one way that gyms allow kids to express themselves. Along with getting used to saying hello to everybody else, the kids are getting used to singing songs together and dancing in a group. With the dance, they have to follow directions, interact with others, and not bump into people. They are expressing themselves in front of others and learning what it is like to participate in a group activity, which you just cannot get without social exposure. We also have a situation where we ask for volunteers to practice certain skills. Since we are asking who wants to be a volunteer, we are giving kids the ability to make their own choice. And usually—because they see for themselves that the volunteers are getting positive reinforcement through clapping and cheering—they decide that they are ready to participate because they want those same things, in terms of social interaction and reinforcement. But other times, they may make the choice to hang back, and that is OK too. The point is that they are able to make that call themselves. Interacting in groups also gives children the chance to see how other kids their same age are handling activities, and what the repercussions are for someone who isn’t behaving. They can see, for example, that someone who isn’t following the rules ends up in the lobby, and then they can make that choice themselves as to whether they want the same fate. They can make that choice: Do I want to continue participating and having fun, or do I want to act out? Kids are processing all of that. So the social interaction that kids get in a gym or center is really beneficial in so many ways. It is helping their confidence; it is allowing them to make decisions; and it is encouraging emotional development that you just can’t get if you are never in these group settings while you are young.
