In this episode Kate Tempesta from Birdie Basics, shares her knowledge and experience on how to get kids from ages 2-5 years old into the game of golf! Kate has been empowering young children since 2001 through the game of golf and her whole child approach to creating deep and engaging learning environments. She believes children are capable of anything when coaches connect, care, respect and collaborate with their youngest of students. She is passionate about early childhood education and teaches young golfers even as early as two years old!
In this Episode we cover:
- What age children can start learning golf
- How children of different ages develop and learn
- How children have fun different from others depending on their age
- The importance of Multi-Sensory engagement
- The importance of story based learning
Kate's Early Development Coaching Approach:
Whole-Child Approach
Her curriculum develops all facets of the child—physical, social, emotional, cognitive—for a better experience and outcome.
Story-Based Creative Play
Children learn better when they are using their imaginations and having fun. Her activities leverage storytelling and creative play to keep kids engaged and delighted.
Multi-Sensory Engagement
Children also learn better when more of their senses are engaged. The Birdie Basics activities are designed to stimulate sight, touch, and hearing.
Age-Appropriateness
They've developed a way to teach sound golf principles that are accessible to very young minds and bodies, adjusting the techniques for every developmental milestone.
