Delight in each new stage as you help your baby: * Enjoy tummy time * Achieve rolling and crawling through play
* In nursing, digestion and sleep * Establish first-year developmental milestones
Early subtle signs that will influence your child socially, academically, and physically can be easily overlooked.
Case studies show that the earlier an infant receives care, the more easily change will be accomplished.

The greatest gifts we can give a child are physical comfort, emotional well-being, curiosity,
confidence, the joy of bonding, and ability to relate to others.
Join us to learn how these gifts are influenced by the handling practices of caregivers and
the infant’s earliest experiences of movement and touch.
Amajoy Developmental Movement & Bodywork Center, directed by Lenore Grubinger, IDME, RMT, and IDME Faculty member, provides movement based support to children of all ages. We highly recommend her inexpensive booklet: 7 Recommendations for You & Your Baby
to all parents, caregivers, IDME students, and professionals. Great baby gift! Visit: www.amajoy.net

Central Park School For Children
Gymnasium, 724 Foster St, Durham, NC 27701
Caregivers, expectant parents, grandparents, therapists, coaches, and educators:
Learn to recognize and support children's efforts for optimal brain and body development!
Maryska will share how perceptual and movement activities in infancy or at any age create a sense of self and pathways for learning.
Participants will explore early developmental movement and its influence on educational success.
Participants will also learn how to create an environment at home or in school which provides children with neuro-developmental growth and kinesthetic pathways for physical health and cognitive, emotional, and artistic expression.
Maryska Bigos has studied and taught Developmental Movement for thirty years and maintains a private practice at Health Associates in Durham for infants to elders. She has taught locally, nationally and internationally and co-founded the Kinesthetic Learning Center which offers Body-Mind Centering® adult education certification programs in Somatic and Infant Developmental Movement Education. Maryska also offers Developmental FUNdamentals for expectant and new parents which blend a deep understanding of the stages and transitions of infant developmental movement with skillful handling practices.

Kinesthetic Learning and the First Year Milestones
|
|
The greatest gifts we can give a child are physical comfort, emotional well-being, curiosity, confidence, the joy of bonding and relating to others. Infant Developmental Movement Education (IDME) teaches how these gifts are influenced by the handling practices of caregivers and the earliest learning experiences of the infant through movement and touch. This early learning is kinesthetic learning (or learning by doing) which organizes the child's visual and auditory learning and the physical, perceptual, emotional and intellectual adult the child will become. Caregivers, therapists, coaches, and educators with an (IDME) understanding of perceptual and motor development will gain insight to assist infants, children, athletes, and elders since the integration of the first year's milestones can be seen at any age.
Created by Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, OTR, this program blends a deep understanding of development, its stages and transitions of movement with skillful handling practices. It is child-centered rather than task-oriented and suited to those who already have experience with infants or anyone who wants to learn. |
