Kids' Wellness Guide

During changing educational times, it becomes increasingly important for each child's early educational experience to get off to an enjoyable, 'stress-free' start. Many valuable stress prevention programs exist today, such as psychomuscular sport training, imagery and movement, bio-feedback, and adult wellness techniques. Nevertheless, their value as learning enhancement tools hasn't been widely recognized in the field of education. The Kids; Wellness Guide: How Well They Feel, How Well They Learn fills this void. Brain research confirms that physical activity - moving, stretching, walking, playing, etc. - enhances a child's learning process along with his/her health. Such motor activity, however, can also be accomplished without overt physical activity, since, when one strongly mentally imagines, nerves are activated just as they would be in a comparable physical activity. Key to facilitating this imaging process is ability to release excess/negative muscle tension. In light of these findings, this book's playful series of Imagination WorkOuts helps children of all abilities apply their "own" imagination skills for enhance learning and well-being. Learning early to routinely reinforce positive imagination with comparable physical actions improves quickness, endurance, timing, power, balance, flexibility, and posture. In turn, communication, alertness, learning ease, self-control, punctuality, knowledge, rationality, kindness, and honesty unfold.Voght, Karen is the author of 'Kids' Wellness Guide ', published 1999 under ISBN 9780966234015 and ISBN 0966234014.
