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's development. We know that prenatal movement is an indicator of growth, development, and health. We even know that, before they can talk, babies communicate through their movements. Observing the behavior of young children as they 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, motivation, behavior and thinking skills? Like Miracle Grow for the brain, movement is not just in the service of gross motor development any more.
