Sukey Molloy was a professional modern dancer in New York City before an injury led her down a different path. She embarked on a career as an award-winning children's music performer and recording artist, centering her work around movement and sensory play using the philosophy of Developmental Movement first coined by Garland O'Quinn. She's joining me to share her insights on engaging children in movement that supports developing brains.   Discover what the framework of Developmental Movement entails, and Sukey's top tips for inviting movement that calls children into their own bodies. Hear how movement helps the growth of a developing brain, what it means to become a magnet for children's attention, and how to acknowledge children without judgment.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://planningplaytime.com/61

I’ve been privileged to spend over 40 class hours learning from some of the top developmental movement specialists in the country – with Stephanie Johnson of Baby Bare, and also in the Brain Gym program, featuring the work of Carla Hannaford and Paul and Gale Dennison. In addition, I’ve received amazing training over the past 27 years through Kindermusik International, the leading childhood learning program in the country.Summing it up in a five-minute podcast is challenging, but I really want you to know and appreciate the wonders of the enrichment you’re making possible for your child through the movement aspects of our class.  So today’s podcast is all about movement! Let’s go! Why do we move so much in Kindermusik? And why does my child want to move aaaallll the time??Great question! The fact is that from birth to around age 7, learning takes place through movement. Your child literally moves to learn! When the neuropathways for movement are fired, they activate and connect the WHOLE brain synergistically. Not to mention the endorphins and feelgood hormones that the brain releases when our bodies are in joyful movement. Also, when we are not only hearing something like high and low (auditory) and seeing it (through moving a scarf or other object), but we’re also experiencing it in our bodies? That is integrated, active learning at its very best. In addition to being actively engaged, these activities are emotionally rewarding, especially when a loving adult is joyfully participating with them. And when we’re actively and emotionally engaged? There’s no limit to what we can learn
