I recently took the plunge into becoming a GAP facilitator. It is something I considered before but the timing was not right with my young family. Today I started my second term as a GAP facilitator and I am loving it.
I love the creative outlet it gives me. I love seeing lives transform as the moms start to get the joy and value in not just playing with their children but understating the importance of sensory play. I love watching the bonds form between the moms as they learn to trust each other and share their hardships and learnings on this journey called motherhood.
GAP has already in its short time in our house added value to our own family. My children love coming home from school to see what the "babies" learned today and to play with whatever sensory play stuff is left to play with. My oldest two also love helping me prep. They love thinking of things we can make for tactile play in particular. GAP has also helped me understand my own son's sensory difficulties (he is tactile intolerant and he seeks vestibular) and taught me tricks to do to help him in his day to day life. He is also a student at JumpLeapFly and loves every session he has.
