Tip to help Calgary kids bounce back to school stress-free

If you think you've got it tough wrangling those morning routines, juggling work and home life, and managing those ever-looming bills—just think of your kids during back-to-school season. Imagine diving back into work after a long, blissful vacation, but now your office, job role, and even your coffee buddy are all brand new. Dealing with so many changes at once can be overwhelming, making even easy tasks feel difficult.

But fear not, because Flying Squirrel in North Calgary offers a fluffy, bouncy cushion to the uneven landing of back-to-school season. Let’s spring through the ways our trampoline paradise can vault your kids over those back-to-school blues:

1. Fights Stress: Our trampolines aren’t just fun, they’re like laughter launch pads. Every hop sends your kids soaring into a cloud of giggles and grins, all while giving them a workout that's way more fun than gym class. This physical activity also triggers the release of endorphins, the body's natural stress fighters, ensuring that each session not only lifts spirits but actively combats stress.

2. Improves Sleep: All that pent-up energy from learning the ropes of a new grade? It’s perfectly spent here, propelling them into peaceful slumber faster than you can say "lights out." Watch as they bounce into bed, tired in the best way possible. Regular physical activity, like trampolining, is proven to help improve sleep quality and duration, ensuring your child wakes up refreshed and ready for school. Sounds good, right? Maybe you should go for a bounce, too.

3. Enhances Cognitive Function: Trampolining isn’t just for legs—it’s for brains, too. Bouncing away the stress helps clear those mental cobwebs, sharpening focus and preparing them to be more attentive in school. It’s like a physical reset button that gets them ready to learn. Additionally, engaging in regular exercise like trampolining has been shown to improve cognitive function, enhancing memory and processing speeds which are crucial for academic success.

4. Builds Confidence: Mastering a new trampoline trick can do wonders for self-esteem. Each small victory here builds them up for bigger ones in the classroom, helping them jump higher over life’s obstacles. These accomplishments on the trampoline translate into increased confidence in all areas of life, as kids learn to approach new challenges with enthusiasm and resilience.

5. Improves Social Skills: Our trampolines make great social mixers, minus the awkward small talk. It’s where new friendships can take flight and old ones can get a fun bounce, all while building essential social skills. Participating in group activities like trampolining naturally fosters social interaction and teamwork, helping children develop better communication skills and form stronger friendships.

Don’t let back-to-school stress flatten your kid’s spirits. Let them kick off the new school year with a hop, skip, and a jump at Flying Squirrel in North Calgary.
