This was such a great episode - have been wondering how slow learning may apply to children's physical development - and the way motor competencies emerge.......... rushing skill acquisition is rarely positive - children will either 'zone out'/wander off - or frequently just look puzzled. The endless repetition of movement patterns - in different environments - with different apparatus - different people to join - taking time to observe - hover around those more confident/competent........allowing children's bodies to find their own way in their own time - this all links beautifully to the slow approach - to learning - and life. Thank you Alison and Angelika !
Children's bodies certainly need time to develop in their own way, especially whilst we are giving them opportunities to explore with their bodies and move in new ways, but without the rush. Thank you for sharing your reflections after listening Lala! - Angelica, TVOEC.
