Physical Development of Children
Use the whole body for learning. Connect global human movement patterns (e.g. reflexes) and intentional physical activities to increase focus, enhance creativity, allow children to become grounded and centered and improve sensorial skills such as listening, vision, communication, and eye-hand coordination. This workshop is based on the Brain Gym theory; it is available online or in person. (2 hours)

It gave me a lot of great ideas on how I can use physical movement with my children on a daily basis. I appreciated that Cindy taught me about how children typically learn. I am going to share this information with the parents!
Cindy’s relaxed talk keeps my attention and reminds me to help slow down kids. This would benefit parents!
