There is more to movement than meets the eye! There is an ongoing, reciprocal and intimate connection between movement and all areas of a child development. We know that prenatal movement is an indicator of growth, development and health. And, that before they can talk, babies communicate through their movements. Observing the ways in which infants and toddlers manipulate and move objects allows us to understand what and how they are thinking. But, did you know that neuroscience research has found that movement improves attention and motivation? Did you know that movement has also been found to improve memory and learning? Like Miracle Grow for the brain, movement is not just in the service of gross motor development any more.
