Guest guest Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 BRAIN AND BODY CONNECTION If your child is just starting to walk, or if you have dreams of them being a great athlete someday; or if they could use help with their coordination, these simple and fun drills will help stimulate both their body and their brain. Try these Easy to do-Brain and Body excercises to help create new neural connections and stimulate brain activity as well as increase spatial awareness and coordination. SPINS: Parent and child each hold up their right hand. Help child spin, alternating between clockwise and counter clockwise. Child tries to CLAP hands with parent and the end of each spin. KNEES and ELBOWS- Parent has child bring their knee up to Tap parent's hand several times. Switch to other knee, then to each elbow. Parent then moves their hand randomly to either knee or elbow and child TAPS it. LOOK OVER YOUR SHOULDER- Parent stands behind child and taps either shoulder randomly. Child turns head the correct way and gets a Kiss, or Claps both hands with parent.... autismnvc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
