Risky Kids Mount Waverley

Failure is one of the most important parts of learning! 

Resilience, reflective skills and confidence are all built from doing things that are hard and challenging our beliefs on what we are capable of!

RISKY KIDS RULE!!!

Supervisor Sophia and Coach Charli taking on the emotions challenge using our favourite phrase “Risky Kids Rule!”

How do you think they did? And which version was your favourite?

The Gate Vault

One of our Delta moves that takes not only strength but confidence and self trust too!!!

The depth drop!

A fundamental move in parkour! Whilst it may seem simple, mastering this move will help build strong, confident landings, so your body is ready for when you learn the big stuff!

Here at Risky Kids Mount Waverley this is one of the first moves we teach!

As parents, we really want to help. But sometimes, helping doesn’t help them grow.
When kids are struggling, it can be tempting to jump in, show them the answer or make it easier.
But sometimes the most useful thing we can do is give them a little space to figure it out.
To try.
To get it wrong.
To adjust.
And to have another go.
Because in those moments, they’re learning more than just the skill in front of them, they’re learning how to problem-solve, persist and back themselves when something feels hard.
That’s when confidence is built!
At Risky Kids Mount Waverley we’ll guide them. We’ll encourage them. But we won’t always solve it for them.
Sometimes, “have another go” is exactly what they need.

“My child climbs EVERYTHING!!!” 

Great! Let’s teach them how to do it safely.
Climbing is a natural part of how kids explore, move and test what their bodies can do. Through parkour-style movement at Risky Kids Mount Waverley, kids can learn safer climbing skills, better coordination and how to judge risk. 

Because the goal isn’t to stop kids from taking risks. It’s to help them get better at managing them. Risk taking is how kids grow, gain confidence and understand risk intelligence. 

Hard work can be fun…

Whilst teaching and learning parkour we have so much fun! But it’s also a lot of hard work from the kids, the coaches and all the people behind the scenes making classes possible each week (I’m looking at the parents who make sure the kids are ready each week!!!)

This week’s mindset: Rub it and Run 👀

Sounds simple… but there’s a little more to it than you might think.
