This book offers a vision of child education and training oriented towards psychomotor thinking. It provides the teacher with a model of intervention, called “psychomotor game”, which can be used in the context of “doing school”. Besides being a valid tool for supporting the growth of the child’s ego, this model constitutes a self-training and evaluation device for the teacher as well as for the educational institution as a whole.  The book outlines the potential and critical nature of a clear and defined proposal, which has never been as necessary as it is now, underlining its principles, objectives and methodology.  At the same time, it shows experiences carried out directly in the field and reflections on the practices introduced in schools.  That which is presented in the book is an important contribution to the construction of an educational and scholastic culture which has been matured in decades of research, experimentation, work in and with schools, which proposes a dialogue with educational institutions attentive to the deep needs of children. The book is aimed at all adults who in various capacities (personal, professional or institutional) have experience with children and are called to a genuine relationship with it within educational institutions.
