\n

Why don’t children sit still by Evelien van Dort is a practical and insightful book drawing on Rudolf Steiner’s theories of child development as well as her own experience to outline how children develop skills such as spatial awareness, balance, coordination and telling right from left.<\/p>\n

Why is my son so clumsy? Why is my daughter’s handwriting so messy? My children only want to play video games: will lack of movement really hurt them?\u00a0Movement is essential in helping children develop not only motor skills<\/a> but also intellectual, emotional<\/a> and social skills. Children learn through ‘doing’ and play.<\/p>\n

But a child’s journey to learn how to control their body can cause frustration in parents. How often do parents say, “can you not just sit still?” or treat a grazed knee when children fall over their own feet? By understanding how children develop sensory motor skills — that is, get information through their senses<\/a> and respond with their physical body — parents can start to address and find reassurance about the issues that concern them.<\/p>\n

In this practical and insightful book,\u00a0Evelien van Dort uses her thirty years’ experience as a children’s physiotherapist. This book will inform and reassure any parent or educator about the impact of a child’s movement on their wider learning!<\/p>\n

The why don’t children sit still book is published by Floris books<\/a>.<\/p>\n
