Just as public school resources are dwindling and an alarming number of children are being labeled with ADHD (1 in 10) and Autistic Spectrum Disorders (1 in 150), a valuable new book becomes available that provides help to parents and professionals. The new book – FRAID NOT! Empowering Kids with Learning Differences, written by Brain Gym ® Instructor and Occupational Therapist - Pamela Formosa, offers useful information and interesting success stories to cope with these challenges
In this book, Pam shares how she uses occupational therapy and Brain Gym® techniques to empower children to grow, take risks, and not be afraid of all life has to offer. She invites you to enjoy the inspirational stories of children’s successes as well as further your understanding as to how movement enhances learning and performance. She also introduces you to the Brain Gym program, developed by Paul and Gail Dennison, and demonstrates how it’s structure empowers children to grow and succeed.
Using simple, down to earth language, and real life examples, Pam helps the reader to
understand why children may struggle with attention, learning and behavior. Using her occupational therapy background, she explores underlying developmental issues that can interfere with a child’s ability to function well, in and out of the classroom. She then offers a simple structure, using the Brain Gym® program, to address and develop these skills.
FRAID NOT! addresses the whole child. It is not written from a medical perspective, and it de-emphasizes the labeling of children. It meets the child where they are at and demonstrates how through movement, self-awareness and goal setting activities, a child can quickly grow and develop skills. This soon leads to improvements in confidence and self esteem. FRAID NOT! is a long awaited, timely resource for parents, teachers and professionals that deal with children.
