A Moving Child Is a Learning Child: How the Body Teaches the Brain to Think (Birth to Age 7)
In order to learn, kids’ need to move! Grounded in best practices and current research, this hands-on resource connects the dots that link brain activity, movement, and early learning.

Teachers, parents, and caregivers will find a wealth of information, actionable tips, and games they can use to support children’s healthy development — all presented in a lively, full-color format with demonstrative diagrams and photos. A final section offers easy-to-implement activities geared to the Kinetic Scale.
