Lifeskills 4 Kids

A book of importance to parents and teachers everywhere, it identifies the traditionally ignored physical causes of inattention. Poor concentration is often seen to be at the center of conduct and learning problems in children, and often it is viewed as a behavioral problem. First Steps challenges this view, exposing the specific effect of early motor neuron development on the ability to concentrate. Invaluable to those who care for children, this ground-breaking investigation provides a program of physical exercises that will effectively focus a child's attention.

Areas such as sleep, walking and spelling are examined.

Twenty-eight years of varied experience has led Roy Anderson to the innovative and exciting conclusions put forward in this book. Following three years in an industrial laboratory, he taught secondary school children in a disadvantaged community and became involved in remedial teaching. This led to posts at a junior school, a Remedial Reading Center, and a Reading and Language Service. In retirement Roy has helped even more children with his weekly visits to a primary school. His methods continue to help children overcome their learning difficulties.
