This film teaches caregivers and professionals about the fascinating developmental movement stages children move through, what is being learned at each stage, and the best practices for supporting children’s naturally unfolding movement capacity and expression.

 

“What we have discovered is that the way we learn is through movement. The more we move,

the more stimulus we are getting to our nerve cells, and the more the brain grows."

- Dr. Carla Hannaford, Neurophysiologist and Author

Stuck Kids?

 

Research shows that over one third of kindergarten students are not ready physically, emotionally and mentally for school. North America has some of the highest learning disability rates in the world. What scientists have discovered is that many of these learning challenges link back to children’s physical development, and emotional challenges can link back to early PsychoMotor development, and attachment with parents. 

 

How do we help kids harness their greatest movement capacity and creative self-expression? How can parent’s make use of their own body as a tool in parenting? How can we move with children so they become graceful, balanced, flexible and humane human beings?

 

Drawing from the knowledge and methods of Dance-Movement Therapy,  Move with Me! teaches how age appropriate movement  stimulation and exploration fosters children’s wellbeing.

 

“By moving, we become masters of our lives. And it all begins in the dance of zero to five”

- Anna Kemble, Dance-Movement Therapist
