I know this subject was already discussed in the General Martial Talk, but I need it more centered to the Aikido Art.
I have a 3 year old daughter and she has fun mocking me punching. I would like to try to introduce her to the Aikido world when she turns 4 or 5. I need someone's advice who has already had experience with kids.
I know she needs to have fun with it and I plan to introduce it to her as a game (to be played only with dad and not other kids at school).
What I actually need is some technical advice. What can be appropriate to start with when you bring such a youngster to the world of Aikido? I am sure she will have fun with rolls. But after that I have a blank...it all seems so big for such a little kid to understand...
