Yes, you are right.  I was focusing on the five
senses.

It is surprising how many people are not aware of
Kinesthesia but then again not many people are taught
at a young age to recognize tension.

I've been dancing since the age of 5 so I was lucky
enough to learn what my body is capable and not
capable of doing.   
 
I do wish parents would look deeper into the benefits
of certain arts, such as ballet, martial arts or even
the benefits of yoga.  
It is important to keep the mind working but it's just
as important to learn about one's own body.
