Why did you decide to join MOVE?
We received an email letting us know about [MOVE]. It was going to start in March…then [the pandemic] hit and instead of canceling it they decided to move it online, which turned out to be such a blessing.
How does MOVE make you feel?
He gets excited…about half an hour before [MOVE] starts I tell him “go get your MOVE shirt on” and he goes and gets his shirt on, gets his water bottle and everything and he really enjoys it. He loves the predictability.
How has the MOVE by GoodLife Kids Program impacted your life? What difference has it made?
It has helped him keep active. We know that 3 times a week he’s going to have an hour where he gets to dance and do stretching. He’s learned to follow instructions.
What would you tell someone considering joining MOVE?
I tell them the benefits of it and I let them know that it’s really good for their children. The fact that it’s in the privacy of their own home, they don’t have to worry about…traveling anywhere or making sure they brought enough snacks or water. It’s just great. And they get to meet other children, other kids that are in the group. I let them know how great it is and the fact that they have an hour where they get to jump around and enjoy it, and they’re active. I’m just so thankful that [GoodLife Kids Foundation] has done this for our children…especially because it is done without a cost to us.
