BOOK WITH 2 CDs OF MUSIC
Movement, Your Child’s First language challenges mainstream
assumptions about early development and learning with a rich distillation
of perennial wisdom and cutting-edge science. In this revolutionary new
book, Sally Goddard Blythe eschews politically correct accelerationism with
her refreshing focus on children’s real age-appropriate needs—in contrast
to those that impatient adults think they should have.
Based on whole-body approaches to learning developed by Sally Goddard
Blythe and Michael Lazarev, this book gives us an essential overview of
child growth from age three to seven years. It explains why movement and
music are essential for healthy brain development and learning, and includes
tried and tested activities for helping children become school ready. Sally
describes the neonatal reflexes, how children learn with their bodies, and
explains the hidden dangers of speeding up childhood.
Included on the two CDs within the book are Michael Lazarev’s ten songs
and Goddard Blythe’s exercises that provide creative and enjoyable music
and movement activities to help develop coordination and language skills,
while the action-stories and nursery rhymes will encourage children to
move, listen, and learn.
This invaluable resource is suitable for use by parents, nursery providers,
teachers, early-years educators, health visitors, pediatricians, special needs
teachers, and educational psychologists.
- “This book is simply essential for all parents and educators
who really care about the well-being of children and the future
of humanity”
—Sylvie Hétu, Educational Coordinator for International Association
of Infant Massage (IAIM), and cofounder of Massage
in Schools Association (MISA).
“An inspiration.... Here, you will find the simple virtues of ‘music
and movement’ and child-raising wisdom allied with the latest
neuroscientific insights to show just why the ‘old-fashioned’,
pre-technological ways often had it right all along.”
—Dr. Richard House, chartered psychologist, campaigner on
early childhood, writer
