Enjoy GAGA now at Chelsea Piers! For 
ages 5+. Gaga is a fast paced, high energy game, similar to dodgeball, played in either a hexagonal or octagonal “pit”. It combines the skills of running, jumping, dodging and striking as competitors move around the pit trying not to get hit in the knee or below by the soft gaga ball. Participants can play team vs team, or mix it up and play every person for themselves. Click here for more info!

If you could ask any question of a top child development expert, what would it be? The non-profit Child Mind Institute (CMI) would like to offer you the opportunity to pick the brains of its expert clinicians. CMI is dedicated to transforming the lives of children and families struggling with mental health and learning disorders through evidence-based clinical care and research into the developing brain, and by providing parents with useful, accurate information that empowers families and communities to get help.

 

As a token of thanks for elevating awareness about children’s well-being, the Child Mind Institute is happy to provide a Little Brown Bear Charm Bangle -- created by CMI’s partner, jewelry company ALEX AND ANI – as a prize to those who submit questions. Please email me at catherines@macaronikid.com to enter and to ask a question by October 13. Good luck!
