Introduction
By moving exuberantly
In rhythms, patterns
Body-mind harmony develops.
Caught by the camera this 11-month-old child lets go and reaches out, becoming a toddler in her first independent steps. This is an early milestone in a lifetime of reaching out in growing and learning.
rhythm17Even these first steps in rhythmic motor skills, using opposition of arms and legs, help develop right-left brain linkage.
Example: walking steps with arms swinging at sides; as left foot steps forward, right arm swings forward.
The nerve endings of sense organs feed the brain information for analysis and reflection through hearing, seeing, feeling, tasting, and smelling.
Allowing the toddler and preschooler to learn with as many senses as possible instills new concepts most smoothly.
Body to Mind by receiving through the sense organs; analyzing;
mind to Body for action.
I. Clapping Rhythms
Our lives are formed of rhythmic pulses.
The body feels and moves in rhythms naturally: walking, running, galloping happen in the sequence of motor development.
Clapping these patterns with the toddler-preschooler is a bonding activity.
Fun and harmonious interactions, partner to child, carry over into harmonious interactions with the child's ever-broadening circle of contacts.
Harmonious interaction at the earliest stages leads to harmony within the individual, and harmonious interactions later as an adult in society.
