Description

Reflexes, Movement, Learning & Behaviour addresses: Why the physical basis for learning



is important? How immaturity in aspects of physical development impacts learning, emotional



wellbeing and behaviour? How this can be identified? How can this be assessed and what



forms of remediation are available?





Reflexes, Movement, Learning & Behaviour covers an area of education and emotional wellbeing



that either tends to be over-looked or falls between professional domains. It provides information



that can help parents, teachers and other professionals to understand what lies behind the under-achieving child and adults who suffer from balance-related anxiety disorders. The method fills a yawning gap in ‘the system’, which often fails to recognise underlying physical factors in under-achievement, behavioural and emotional problems. Identifying some of the mechanics involved is the first stage in moving from victimhood to being able to live with a problem and in many cases, overcome it. It helps parents and teachers to understand children better, introduce more effective coping strategies if needed and ideally correct some of the underlying problems enabling children and adults to become more resilient and flexible in response to stress and to realise their potential.




Sally Goddard Blythe is Director of the Institute for Neuro-Physiological Psychology. She researches the relationship between physical development and learning. Her remedial programmes help transform children’s learning through movement. Her widely translated books include The Well Balanced Child, The Genius of Play, Raising Happy Healthy Children and Movement: Your Child’s First Language from Hawthorn Press, and Attention Balance and Coordination, The ABC of Learning Success.
