The Well Balanced Child

Movement and early learning

by Sally Goddard Blythe

The Well Balanced Child is a passionate manifesto for a "whole body" approach to learning which integrates the brain, senses, movement and play. This fully revised edition includes a new chapter with a story and movement exercise that parents can use to help children reach their potential. This practical, inspirational resource will help parents and educators to understand

• Why movement matters
• How music helps brain development
• The role of nutrition, the brain and child growth
• How to help children with learning and behaviour problems
• Early Morning by the Pond - exercises and movements with children

“Goddard Blythe’s recommendations include music and singing, reading, conversation, optimum nutrition and family meals. In fact, she concludes, the classic Enid Blyton childhood, with country picnics, nursery rhymes and cod-liver oil, had an awful lot going for it.”
The Times

“A strong book with important messages about early years learning.”
The Teacher

“A magnificently titled and highly informative book skillfully written by a dedicated therapist.”
Harold Levinson, MD; Director, Levinson Medical Centre for Learning Disabilities
