Movement and play at nursery school

Research has widely ascertained that the origins of thought, language and relational imprinting can be traced back to the original, preverbal experience of a child in his or her first three years of life, so much so that recent acquisitions in psychology talk of the mind which is incorporated and embedded in the body’s experience and elaborated in the fabric of human relationships.
In this book, arising from the experience of the ANUPI (National Association of Italian Psychomotor Specialists and Neuro and Psychomotor therapists of the Developmental Age), the author focuses on the centrality and potential of the body (play, movement, gestures, looks etc.) as the most important dimension of the psychic being, and the essential element in the creation of self, outlining the processes through which you can unravel the bodily experience of a child, starting from the primary relationship/dyad between the mother.
The book is targeted at nursery school educators, psychomotor skills specialists and therapists, but also those who work in parenting support for the 0-3 age group. It integrates scientific and concrete observations into a psychomotric interpretation, offering the model of an adult who does not pre-empt, over stimulate or impose him or herself on the child, but who, with profound awareness and attention, knows how to listen and tune in with the child in a dialogue made up of mirroring and transformations, in safe and facilitative settings and surroundings.
