Reflexes, Movement, Learning & Behaviour: Analysing and unblocking neuro-motor immaturity (Early Years)

Reflexes, Movement, Learning & Behaviour covers an area of education and emotional wellbeing that tends either to be overlooked or to fall between professional domains. It provides information that helps parents, teachers, and other professionals to understand what lies behind the underachieving children and adults who suffer from balance-related anxiety disorders.

The method fills a yawning gap in “the system,” which often fails to recognize underlying physical factors in underachievement, behavioural, and emotional problems. Identifying some of the mechanics involved is the first stage in moving from victimhood to being able to live with a problem and, in many cases, overcome it. This helps parents and teachers to understand children better, introduce more effective coping strategies when needed, and ideally correct some of the underlying problems, enabling children and adults to become more resilient and flexible in response to stress and to realize their real potential.

Educators, learning professionals, child psychologists, doctors, movement specialists and parents will find this book to be an indispensable and unique resource.

Sally Goddard Blythe is the author of seven books on variou8s aspects of child development. Her professional life has been dedicated to investigating and remediating underlying physical factors in children presenting with specific learning difficulties and adults suffering from anxiety and panic disorder. Although closely linked to The INPP Method, of which she is currently the international director, her interest in a physical basis for learning and emotional difficulties stems from a broad based education, which began with an interest in the arts and moved over to the sciences. Informed by the many children she has worked with in a practice spanning three decades, she has lectured in many different parts of the world and continues to provide training in The INPP Method to students from all over the world.
