How are the preschooler classes going at the Martial Arts Academy at the creative workshop? Natalia Lobko shares her thoughts

The Alina Kabaeva Sky Grace Rhythmic Gymnastics Academy holds classes for preschoolers of the Martial Arts Academy. The children attend the creative workshop for comprehensive development.

Teacher Natalia Lobko talked about the differences between boys and girls at this young age.

"Girls at this age have a more developed near vision, and for them, very small details, some decorations for dolls are important. For boys, it’s the opposite. They have developed far vision, so they need to cover the entire space," she said.

The coach also noted the influence of these differences on the arrangement of the playspace at the Academy.

"Boys' spatial perception covers both vertical and horizontal interaction, so they need more space to play. We specifically expanded the space in our class by moving the dry pool to another area so that the boys could have more active games," Natalia said.
