| Summary |
Life can be very stressful for kids who have trouble coordinating their physical movements. Everyday activities, such as catching a ball, riding a bike and handwriting, become mammoth challenges. And, difficulty in trying to keep up with peers, both in the playground and in the classroom, can result in loss of self-esteem. This book provides parents with loads of activities they can do with their child at home. The games are designed to help specific areas of a child's motor development. For a child, the parent can be the greatest teacher...especially when learning is fun! First published in 1992 as Skipping not Tripping, this book continues as a valuable guide to helping children develop their coordination and confidence. Watch Me, I Can Do It! is now fully revised, and includes a new chapter on improving the handwriting technique of children who are experiencing difficulties |
