Movement and the Early Learner's Brain: eBook

Unlock the Power of Movement in Early Brain Development

Delve into the fascinating world of early childhood brain development with our comprehensive guide, Movement and the Early Learner's Brain. This book uncovers the profound connection between movement and the developing brain, offering educators, parents, and caregivers a rich blend of scientific insights and practical strategies. Covering from ages 0 - 7 years.

Highlights include:

• How Movement Shapes the Brain: Discover how movement stimulates synaptogenesis, enhances sensory integration, and drives neuroplasticity during the preschool years.
• The Role of Myelin and Neural Connections: Learn how repetition and guided movements strengthen neurons, automate skills, and elevate brain efficiency.
• The Power of Sensory Integration: Explore how the seven senses—touch, vision, hearing, taste, smell, vestibular, and proprioception—interact with movement to foster motor skill development.
• The Interdependence of Movement and Brain Functioning: Understand how movement stimulates key areas like the cerebellum and prefrontal cortex, promotes hemispheric integration, and elevates brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), enhancing mood, cognition, and physical skills.

With a focus on the fundamental movement skills (FMS) that are critical for early learning, this book bridges the gap between neuroscience and practical application. Packed with actionable insights, it empowers
