Traditional outdoor games\u2014running and jumping, hopscotch, tree climbing, playing on playground equipment\u2014are being abandoned in favor of television, computers, and electronic games. As a result, there is unprecedented concern over the rising levels of childhood obesity and even heart disease.<\/p>\n<p>Deprived of the crucial opportunities for exercising the body and the senses that prepare the brain for learning in the early years, many children are literally unfit to begin the learning process. &#8211; The Well Balanced Child is a passionate manifesto for a whole-body approach to learning, which integrates the brain, senses, movement, and play.<\/p>\n<p>This practical, inspirational resource will help parents and educators to understand:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>why movement matters<\/li>\n<li>how music helps brain development<\/li>\n<li>the role of nutrition, the brain and child growth<\/li>\n<li>how to help children with learning and behaviour problems<\/li>\n<li><em>Early Morning by the Pond<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 exercises and movements with children<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b>Sally Goddard Blythe\u00a0<\/b>is the author of seven books on variou8s aspects of child development. Her professional life has been dedicated to investigating and remediating underlying physical factors in children presenting with specific learning difficulties and adults suffering from anxiety and panic disorder. Although closely linked to The INPP Method, of which she is currently the international director, her interest in a physical basis for learning and emotional difficulties stems from a broad based education, which began with an interest in the arts and moved over to the sciences. Informed by the many children she has worked with in a practice spanning three decades, she has lectured in many different parts of the world and continues to provide training in The INPP Method to students from all over the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Well Balanced Child:\u00a0Movement and Early Learning \u201cThe Well Balanced Child is a thought-provoking and helpful book that makes a vital contribution to understanding child development.
