    I'm not sure if this is a criticism of what I do (one of the problems of things being in written form) but I believe that running just for the sake and joy of running is great and should be encouraged - of course in a supervised way to ensure safety. I am trained in physical education and have taught phys Ed in school. I am also quite strict and the kids know exactly what is allowed and what is not. My home is not a house full of crazy running arounds kids. Not everything has to be a structured adult led activity...in fact, I guess encouraging them to run around the sofa while skipping, hopping, going in slow motion, etc. is a structured activity that develops gross motor skills...so...
