The Moving Child
Expert Interviews
The Moving Child Films I, II and III aim to help support children in their physical, emotional, social and mental development by educating adults about the important role that dynamic movement plays in a child’s wellbeing. Movement matters and impacts all aspects of development! These films show why and how that happens and what we need to be concerned about in children’s sensorimotor development. Kids are getting stuck! Integrating approaches from diverse movement therapies, all three films share best practices to support children’s sensorimotor development, self-expression and naturally unfolding movement ability which will shape their lives.
