5-Day Amazing Babies Moving Workshop
Natural Movement Development in
The Baby's First Year
Certificate Program
with Beverly Stokes
San Francisco Area
June 27, 2011-July 1, 2011
This 5-Day Program is designed to enhance the skills of educators and professionals who work in the fields of baby development, child education and in Early Years settings. It also provides fundamental movement information for Somatic Educators and Yoga Instructors who work with children or adults.
Our dynamic Amazing Babies Moving (ABM) Program provides participants with a unique two-part framework for understanding natural movement development in the baby's first year. The benefits of this approach is that it provides a clear guide to understanding movement development, preverbal communication and self-motivated learning in babies. You will find it the most effective way to communicate this important information to actively support parents and babies in the first year.
Amazing Babies Moving Program from Birth to Walking is designed in two parts:
1 Pre-locomotion Baby - newborn to 5 months
In the pre-locomotion stage, the baby's FloorMoves sessions gets the developmental process going. During this time babies are develo pi ng their body awareness, organizing patterns of movement, and setting up action plans in self-directed play. FloorMoves explorations are an essential daily practice for babies that prepares them for the dynamic Locomotion Stage.
2 Locomotion Baby - 6 months to 12 months
In the second half of the first year, babies acquire the ability to move from one place to another putting wh at they have practiced into action. These fundamental movements, locomotion patterns, rhythmic coordination and dynamic balance provide the essential foundation for babies to become dynamic explorers, expressive communicators and self-motivated learners. |
