tatami therapy

Tatami Therapy is an intervention program that requires that parents and children  work together  to achieve optimal success. 

What will this program achieve?

It will improve the student\\'s ability to maintain focus:
In Tatami Therapy we have developed specific games to improve the student\\'s attentional ability and to stay focus and achieving  more success in their academic world.

It will improve the behavior of the student:
On many occasions,  the students\\' negative behaviors  can be caused by frustrations or low self-esteem.  The Tatami Therapy offers activities that teaches  anger management and  the building of one\\'s self confidence. Here, the motivational system is used to tranform negative behaviors into positive behaviours.
The student will also learn the Judo principle of respecting peers and the teaching staff.

It will improve the student\\'s memory:
The format of a judo class blends itself to allow norms and discipline that is inherent to the sport.
These norms –folding their clothing before and after each class, to request permission when entering or leaving tatami- is important at each session. Students are expected to abide and respect the rules of the sessions of Tatami Therapy.  The success of being able to follow the rules requires that the student will need to be organized.

It will improve the student\\'s organizational skill:

It will improve coordination:
Everyone who enters the Tatami have the impulse to jump and throw themselves on the mats.
Tatami teaches the education of psycho mobility exercises, like somersaults and falls in the first stage of the program.
These exercises will continue as the students work in pairs and in teams. Here, the motivational system comes into effect as the students learns to use the body to achieve the planned goals.

It will improve social skills:
The program places great emphasis on social abilities. Socialization is considered to be a fundamental tool for the personal and professional success in the present world. Thus, games are planned to be played with partners of pairs or teams.  This allows the students to develop trust and respect between each other and with adults
