Movement is essential for people of all ages and physical states. The intentional movement available through the 26 Brain Gym Activities will enhance any learning pursuit, especially helping parents and educators to support children in their daily life endeavors.
Authors of "The Brain Gym", Paul and Gail Dennison, are pioneers in the field of mind-body integration known as Educational Kenesiology. The activities are intended to be intentional, playful movement, that foster the flexibility, eye teaming, and hand-eye coordination that allow learners to thrive in the classroom, along with the ability to live happily and creatively amid the stresses of modern life.
Whole Child Wellness is currently working on a pilot study to document the effects of implementing "Brain Gym" activities in the classroom, in the hopes it will encourage more schools to use the techniques that incorporate movement into learning.
