Product description

Review

“Everyone knows that a healthy diet is important for a growing child, but did you know that physical activity is absolutely essential for brain development? Many don’t, but Gill Connell and Cheryl McCarthy aim to fix that with A Moving Child Is a Learning Child . . . With a wealth of information and a plethora of ideas for implementation, this book is a must-read for parents as well as anyone working with young children.” ― San Francisco Book Review

“A Moving Child Is a Learning Child interprets developmental movements and translates them into their correlating larger skill sets on the path to language, reading, writing, and being a healthy, social child . . . A brilliant read with beautiful photographs, diagrams, and layout.” -- Heidi Echternacht, kindergarten teacher and founder of #KinderChat

“This groundbreaking book introduces a tool that supports the full, natural development of movement and learning in young children, enabling teachers, parents, and caregivers to facilitate learning through active play while respecting each child’s individual needs.” -- Darell Hammond, founder and CEO of KaBOOM!

“This valuable research demonstrates that the way children learn best is through interaction and movement . . . [A Moving Child Is a Learning Child] helps adults understand why children don’t sit still, run, jump, skip and fidget . . . and why it is so critically important to their brain development and learning!” -- Deborah McNelis, acclaimed author of The Brain Development Series and founder of Brain Insights

“Gill Connell and Cheryl McCarthy, two highly respected leaders in their fields, have produced a timely book that makes a significant contribution to our understanding of why movement is so vital in young children’s development and learning. This exceptionally informative book will appeal to and be highly useful for parents/caregivers and anyone who works with or has infants, toddlers, and young children.” -- Cheryl Greenfield, M.Ed. (Hons), Manukau Institute of Technology in Auckland, New Zealand
