I have to thank a lot of people for bringing this book to fruition, but most especially the kids! My kids class showed me immediately what worked and what didn't, so this book is the result of continuous feedback from them.
I had a number of people helping me with it - who are all thanked in the book - but most importantly it was the parents who trialled it on their own kids, or the other instructors who tested it when giving their own lessons, that really helped make it a very practical book.
I want people to just be able to pick it up and see what's practically involved in setting up for success before that first lesson with the kids, then be able to apply the activities and their variations, to really help the kids settle into make good progress with their tai chi learning.
This year my own kids class won the GOLD medal for the third year running for their Group Form at the London Competition for Traditional Tai Chi Chuan, showing that these methods work, when applied consistently.
