Angst is a documentary that looks at anxiety, its causes and effects, and what we can do about it.

YMCA of the North Shore Parent & Child Swim Lessons

Parent/child swim lessons are available at all YMCA of the North Shore locations

In Y swim lessons, participants learn and practice new swimming skills. They feel a sense of achievement from mastering something new that they can enjoy the rest of their lives. In addition, the ability to swim is important for a child’s safety, especially in our North Shore communities where beaches, ponds, pools and boats are all around us. Learning these skills can begin at a very early age, through our Y parent/child swim lessons.

Jen Graham P.T. School Backpack Basics

Back to school tips and tricks

It is often challenging to find a backpack that is ‘cool’, just the right size for all of the school day necessities and fits correctly! Correct fit should be your first priority!

Consider this: If a child carries his or her backpack for only 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes in the afternoon, they will carry it for 2 hours and 30 minutes per week.  There are 180 school days in a year.  That means the child would carry the backpack for 5,400 minutes or 90 hours per year.  It makes sense to choose the right backpack that fits well!
