WHY SHOULD YOU TEAM UP! FOR YOUR TODDLER’S HEALTH?
Movement enhances learning. Studies have shown that
when children are able to move in a structured and coordinated
manner, they are not only more likely to become aware
of their bodies and understand their actions, but are
able to focus on other types of learning. This is referred
to as Motor Planning.
This video provides an opportunity for parents and children
to share this important connection. As parents become
more aware of the benefits of health and fitness, they
can involve their kids in activities which incorporate
using their bodies in structured movements.
About Motor Planning
Motor planning is our ability to “think through,” organize
and carry out a sequence of unfamiliar actions. Good
motor planning is essential for children’s development.
According to Jodie Bertish, licensed occupational therapist,
who served as a consultant for this DVD:
Motor planning is an important building
block in learning new skills. Obtaining accurate information
from all our sensory systems (muscles, joints, touch-receptors
and balance) is a key to good motor planning. We need
to know how our bodies work before we can use them
effectively, so we can regulate and monitor our motor
skills. Team Up! For Your Toddler’s Health enhances
motor planning and coordination by sequencing movements
based on sensory input.
