The body also learns
Before learning to write, the child needs to know their body.
Before understanding spatial concepts, they need to experience space.
Before being able to stay attentive during a task, they need to develop regulatory mechanisms.
Development does not happen only through what the child sees and hears. It also happens through what they feel, experience and do with the body.
