On the ice

Homeschool learn-to-skate has begun. My girl has requested time on the ice again. We went almost two years off the ice, too long. I love to watch her skate. I love to watch all of my children do the things they love. My skater's desire to return to the ice prompted me to write about the importance of movement and gross motor work and my post will be featured in my Unexpected Detour column at Homeschool Mosaics in February.

I searched the internet for autism and ice skating and found a blog post that gives me insight into perhaps why my girl is drawn to it:  http://theautisticme.blogspot.com/2012/09/skating-in-peace.html
