"Our daughter has gained stronger communication skills. She enjoys the physical movements and enjoys learning new exercises. Also, when we go to other public spaces she can now introduce herself clearly to others. I also hear her softly say “that she is strong, she is brave, she is KidStrong” when she is trying new things."
