Summary |
"Few problems cause more concern for parents and teachers than a child who appears to have a learning problem or behavior disorder. It is even more difficult when no specific cause or reason for the problem is given. Now, with the help of Physical Activities for Improving Children's Learning and Behavior, you can learn about the possible underlying causes for a child's difficulty and select from 99 fun-filled activities proven to promote sensory motor development." "Whether a child shows signs of clumsiness or hyperactivity, or performs motor skills below age level, Cheatum and Hammond provide activities to help them overcome their learning and behavior difficulties. With this book, you can ensure that you are giving your children the extra help they need to be successful in and out of the classroom!"--BOOK JACKET. |
