🙌🏼🙌🏼 Movement Based Learning 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Is your child starting to feel anxious about returning to school? 👨🏼‍🏫🥺

Returning to school can be a difficult time for children who struggle with processing.
Movement Based Learning can give you and your child the tools to help organise themselves better, to be calmer, more in control and to be able to process change and transition more effectively.

What is Movement Based Learning?
It is a series’s of simple Building Block Touch Based Activities that reinforce the movement patterns we need a firm foundation of to be able to process everything effectively.

Movement Based Learning is suitable for anyone of any age and of any ability. It has great success for those having a diagnosis of ASD, ADHD, Dyspraxia, Dyslexia and Sensory Processing Disorder.... basically anyone who has difficulty with processing.

It works to improve emotional regulation by increasing the ability to process sensory information. Benefits can include the ability to be able to concentrate for longer and be less wriggly and fidgety. It can enable the processing of instructions which enables the ability to better deal with demands and making choices. Physical coordination and hand eye coordination can also be improved.

For more information about how I can help you please drop me a pm and feel free to share with any families who you think might benefit from Movement Based Learning 💞

Tantrums are as much about sadness as they are anger.

Toddlers outfitted with high-tech wireless recording devices have helped researchers discover that tantrums have a very distinct, predictable pattern. Understanding that tantrums have a rhythm can not only help parents know when to intervene, but also give them a sense of control.

Touch. It's a word that can fill us with fear!

Safe human touch is not indulgent, it is essential to positive emotional development.

Stroking, hugging, massage, they are all primal needs which begin in the womb. Safe human touch builds resilience, it helps us better manage stressful moments, it feeds our brains.

When was the last time you touched someone.....

Strokes and hugs are being edged out of our lives, with doctors, teachers and colleagues increasingly hesitant about social touching. Is this hypervigilance of boundaries beginning to harm our mental health?
