A Moving Child Is a Learning Child: How the Body Teaches the Brain to Think (Birth to Age 7) (Free Spirit Professional®)

This book is so insightful! This should be required reading for every parent and educator. Makes the clear connection between physical development (thru play) and how it builds learning and other skills for kids. Both the writing and the visual style of this book make learning about the science underlying development super easy to read and comprehend. HIghly highly recommend!!

Great info presented in a way that is easy to read and understand.

Easy to read--explains whole body development and the interconnections of all aspects of development. Love the ideas for multiple stages in the back

This book starts with birth and the brain disconnected from the body. It explains how the brain connects with the senses via movement. It is easy to read with simple movement exercises to connect the brain to the senses. It explains that it takes time and repetition to get it right, that is why babies move all the time. Well written. Chapters go in sequence and build on previous learning. Fascinating book.

I'm a ECE teacher and found the printable resources really useful for sharing with parents. I've also asked work to purchase a hard copy.

This book is a delight. Love the layout, the style, the content---everything about this book makes it something parents and teachers should snap up in an instant. In this day and age of 'teach to the test' and pushing standards down to lower and lower grade levels, this book is a breath of fresh air. It should be the guiding light of early childhood and primary grade teachers. I bought one for a gift, and now I'm getting one for myself.

The book is well written for parents and professionals, with concise explanations about child development and great suggestions. Highly recommend.

This is an excellent chronological insight into development with helpful hints and tips throughout the book. It's a must read for all those who are involved with child development.

Very insightful & helpful!!

Un excellent livre qui nous rappelle combien les enfants ont BESOIN de bouger. Ce n'est pas juste un désir, c'est un BESOIN. Bouger, courir, mobiliser leur corps tisse les réseaux de neurones qui leur permettront par la suite d'accéder à la lecture, à l'écriture et à la pensée. Bouger n'est pas superflu. C'est d'autant plus important pour les français qui sont le peuple qui maintient le plus les enfants assis à une table que ce soit à l'école ou à la maison.Un ouvrage clair, simple, évident. très illustré et agréable à lire.

Thanks!
