Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
Simple and playful solutions to developing complex skills preparing children for school and life (ages 3 to 7). A child is a work in progress who thrives when everyday living becomes an interactive game. Play. Learn. Know. is a guide to help Mum and Dad (and, in an ideal world, all caregivers) to shape their child's body, heart and mind with care and thoughtfulness. It gives simple and playful solutions to developing complex skills preparing children for school and life (ages 3 to 7). A child needs to experience life to become part of life. You can help your child to belong by exposing her to everyday life: name the things you touch; explain what happens around her; show her how things work; and allow her the opportunity to discover-learn, to move and ask questions freely. You don't need to know all the answers - teach her from an early age to find answers on her own. This book is not a checklist or a time sheet to tick off or fill in arbitrarily; it is a road map to guide you along the journey of development. It has no age indicators, because every child unfolds developmentally in her own time. Child development is not a race to 'get there first'. It is a journey during which there are skills to be developed, knowledge to be discovered and thousands of experiences to be enjoyed along the way to school readiness.

Gravity
Author: Melodie De Jager
Publisher: Mind Moves
ISBN: 9781928376590
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
ADHD & DYSLEXIA MIGHT RATHER BE VIEWED AS A FAULTY PROCESS THAN A CONDITION. Research in the growing field of neuroscience shows that for our brains, there is really very little difference between controlling thoughts and controlling movements. And so it turns out that cosmonauts and children with learning difficulties may have much in common. It appears that the brains of children with learning difficulties, for some reason, do not process information about the force of gravity very well. This can result in learning problems because, for the brain to work optimally, it has to give priority to the relationship between the body and gravity. Impaired functionality of the vestibular system has been found to delay milestones and have a negative impact on a child's overall development whether it be physical, emotional, social and intellectual. This ground breaking book takes a fresh approach to: delayed milestones low muscle tone poor sensory integration difficulties establishing laterality and hand dominance ADHD dyslexia anxiety disorders speech and language delays and fear of the dark. In GRAVITY Oleg, Victoria and Melodie bring their decades of research working with children who experienced learning and behavioural difficulties and apply massage, movement and traditional games as medicine to stimulate the gradual unfolding and maturation of the higher centres of the brain and cognitive processes.

Mind in Motion
Author: Barbara Tversky
Publisher: Basic Books
ISBN: 0465093078
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 389
Book Description
An eminent psychologist offers a major new theory of human cognition: movement, not language, is the foundation of thought When we try to think about how we think, we can't help but think of words. Indeed, some have called language the stuff of thought. But pictures are remembered far better than words, and describing faces, scenes, and events defies words. Anytime you take a shortcut or play chess or basketball or rearrange your furniture in your mind, you've done something remarkable: abstract thinking without words. In Mind in Motion, psychologist Barbara Tversky shows that spatial cognition isn't just a peripheral aspect of thought, but its very foundation, enabling us to draw meaning from our bodies and their actions in the world. Our actions in real space get turned into mental actions on thought, often spouting spontaneously from our bodies as gestures. Spatial thinking underlies creating and using maps, assembling furniture, devising football strategies, designing airports, understanding the flow of people, traffic, water, and ideas. Spatial thinking even underlies the structure and meaning of language: why we say we push ideas forward or tear them apart, why we're feeling up or have grown far apart. Like Thinking, Fast and Slow before it, Mind in Motion gives us a new way to think about how--and where--thinking takes place.
