Taylor & Francis Ltd Outdoor Learning through the Seasons An Essential
Book SynopsisOutdoor learning and play experiences are an essential part of young children's development. The importance of offering children first-hand experience of the natural world becomes more urgent as research evidence demonstrates the benefits of becoming physically and emotionally involved with the natural world. Outdoor Learning through the Seasons shows how we can encourage young children to engage with nature on a daily basis throughout the year. Using the four seasons as a framework, it supports adults to develop their own awareness of the world around them and feel confident about taking children outside every day. There are suggestions for caring for gardens and wildlife through the year, and ideas to brighten grey winter days, enjoy the summer sunshine or explore in the snow. Now featuring full-colour photographs throughout, this new edition has been updated to include references to recent research, new material on Forest Schools, discussion questions for practitionTable of ContentsIntroduction Part One: Outdoor learning and the Early Years Foundation Stage 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Sensory Motor Activities for Early Development
Book SynopsisSensory motor activities are crucial for children to learn from their environment. Bridging the gap between theory and practice, this revised edition is a complete package of tried-and-tested sensory motor activities for children, covering basic movements, interoception, sensory and body awareness and early visual perceptual skills. Providing an overview of the sensory systems, the authors offer practical strategies for parents/carers and practitioners to link knowledge to practice when communicating and engaging with a child. The authors present both familiar and novel activity ideas, explaining how they provide sensory stimulation to the relevant sensory systems and may help to support the childâs development, sensory processing and regulation levels. New material includes: greater emphasis on understanding the sensory systems and how they link to the activities a brand new chapter on interoception revised recording methods, including Goal Attainment Scaling as an outcome tool an expanded list of activities. Sensory Motor Activities for Early Development, 2nd edition is an essential text for all parents/carers and practitioners who use sensory motor activities in a playful way to help the development of children with a range of needs. It will be valuable reading for those working with children who do not initiate movement, who require help with their movement, who need to refine their movement, who need encouragement or motivation to engage in purposeful movements, or those who need activities to provide sensory stimulation.Trade ReviewPraise for the First Edition:"This manual is a useful resource for parents, carers and paediatric occupational therapy departments." - British Journal of Occupational Therapy"This positive book encourages all people working with a child to have fun and shows that one activity can be used to achieve several aims...would be a good addition to any paediatric department." - Therapy Weekly "The idea for the manual is excellent and it is a useful book to have in ay department..." - Sensor Net"The book is full of good examples, thus providing stimulation and practical ideas of how to use the activities/ideas given." - NAPOT "This book would be a useful addition to every paediatric therapy bookshelf." - Physiotherapy"It is always a pleasure to see a book which aims to take the mystique out of treatment" - Bulletin "This book would be an excellent addition to any library, giving a well thought out and coherent approach to those children requiring assistance with sensory development." - UK Federation for Conductive Education "The manual is a practical guide for the carer or the newly trained practitioner in Sensory Motor Activities for early development." - The Laban Guild Quarterly Magazine"This is a practical and easy to read non-academic spiral bound book." - Senior Occupational TherapistPraise for the Second Edition:"This is a very useful and practical overview of developmentally appropriate activities, with worked examples, reflective activities and a very thorough overview of the sensory systems and how they link to activities.
