The first in a two-volume series, this insightful book covers the intersection of thought between Rudolf Steiner and Emmi Pikler. It considers child development from the importance of self-initiated movement in early childhood, to motor development and the development of four foundational senses.
Paediatric therapist Jane Swain discusses how early year practitioners and caregivers can best support children during this process. Chapters cover an introduction to the twelve senses, the sense of touch, and the sense of balance. Jane’s findings are informed by a variety of sources including Spacial Dynamics.
Illustrated with over twenty black-and-white photographs, this book offers fascinating insights for caregivers and early years practitioners into the best ways to help children develop the foundational senses of touch, well-being, movement and balance.
