The BrainMoves Course A developmental movement program that helps preschoolers with ADHD and the parents, teachers, & therapists who help them grow.

A Developmental Movement Program that helps Preschoolers and the Parents, Teachers, & Therapists Who Help them Grow. In 2025 Diane Malik, launched the online course, The BrainMoves Course, based on decades of experience in helping children learn and grow. This comprehensive self-paced online course shares with her practical, simple system that can be used at home, in school or in professional settings, such as occupational, speech or physical therapy clinics. The BrainMoves system is a natural way to help preschoolers with challenges or who want to enhance their current skills. The system supports the way children naturally learn through movement and play. There are movements that every child can do allowing them to begin where they feel comfortable and to grow from there. Diane has twenty years of experience training teachers and other professionals how to use the Brain Gym movements to help children with learning disabilities, ADD, ADHD, behavior problems, etc. She has helped people of all ages one to one and in corporate workshops with stress management, career development, health coaching, mental health challenges, physical health issues, chemical imbalances, stress related illnesses and issues, improving parenting skills and improving behavior problems. She has researched and developed many techniques. Diane has been training teachers and other professionals and parents and other adults for 20 years in small and large groups (school districts and corporations looking for stress management for their employees, how to improve brain function and memory and improving job skills). BrainMoves is an offspring of these years of teaching, filling a need for those who work with preschoolers. With BrainMoves, children participate in their learning and progress and can be in charge of it by picking which movements they want to do. After doing the movements for a while, many children intuitively know which ones are the best for them to do.

Ever ask your little one what’s wrong, wanting to help, only to hear “I DON’T KNOW!” 😩

Preschoolers are still learning how to understand their feelings, communicate their needs, and make sense of what’s happening inside their little bodies.

Sometimes, they need a little help getting there. Movement can be one way to help children reconnect with their bodies and get ready to express themselves. 🧠✨

Little learners are still learning… and we’re here to help! Click the link in our bio.

Ever feel like you’re talking to a tiny human on another planet? 👽😂

Sometimes, getting a preschooler’s attention takes more than repeating the same thing over and over.

Movement can help little learners get their brains and bodies ready to focus, listen, and learn. 🧠💛

Because sometimes, they don’t need another reminder… they need a BrainMove! Comment “FOCUS” for 3 movements to help your preschooler focus & pay attention! 💬

Sometimes the smallest things can feel like the BIGGEST things to a preschooler. 😭

The wrong cup. A broken banana. A sibling sitting too close. Suddenly, everything is a crisis or a tantrum.

Big reactions don’t always mean your child is “being difficult.” Their little brains are still learning how to handle frustration, flexibility, and big emotions.

A little movement can help shift their body and brain before the next big feeling takes over. 🧠💛

BrainMoves was created by real people & professionals to meet the needs of parents & teachers. ❤️

It was created by a person, shaped by a village of professionals, and built through more than 25 years of working alongside children, parents, teachers, and professionals.

BrainMoves was created by me, Diane Malik, M.A. I have a master’s degree in counseling psychology, am a certified professional nanny, and have been a licensed Brain Gym teacher and consultant since 2002, with additional training in child development, behavior, creative arts therapies, behavior modification, and special needs.

For 15 years, I’ve used BrainMoves clinically with preschoolers and individuals with special needs, supporting areas like developmental delays, balance and coordination, learning challenges, trauma recovery, and challenges related to stress.

This wasn’t something I asked AI to create.

Every movement, idea, and approach was shaped by real experiences, real children, collaboration, observation, and years of learning what helps children thrive.

Now, those years of experience live inside the BrainMoves Course, giving parents and educators playful, purposeful movements to help preschoolers learn, connect, regulate, and have fun.🧠🐒🩵

Shoes? On. 👟
Bookbag? Packed. 🎒
Body & Brain? Absolutely NOT ready. 😣

Sometimes your little one has everything they need for school… except a body & brain ready to slow down, focus, and learn.

That’s where movement can help! 🧠💛

A quick BrainMove can help kids get their wiggles out, regulate their bodies, and transition into learning mode.

Because sometimes they don’t need to “sit still”, they need to MOVE first.

Watch their behavior for the clues. 🧠

When a preschooler is constantly moving, struggling to focus, or having a hard time regulating, they probably won't listen to another reminder to “behave.”

Their bodies are telling you they need movement.

The 38 BrainMoves Movements were developed to give them purposeful movement to get their bodies ready for the next thing, whether that’s learning, listening, transitioning, or simply slowing down. In just 10 minutes a day, you can learn a whole new movement and how to help your preschooler.

Go to the link in our bio to learn more about the BrainMoves Movements and how they give your preschooler’s body the movement it’s asking for. 💙

When kids are dysregulated, “calm down” isn’t always the answer. 🧠

Sometimes their bodies need an outlet before they’re ready to listen, focus, or transition.

Movement can help kids reconnect with their bodies and get ready for what comes next.

So when your preschooler is having a BIG moment… try thinking “regulate first, then redirect.” 💛 Go to the link in our bio to help them regulate. 🙏🏽
