BETWEEN GAMES, GESTURES, TOUCHING AND PLAYS: THE DISCOVERY OF THE BODY IN EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION

Abstract

It is with great satisfaction that I present the book "Between games, gestures, touches and games: The discovery of the body in Early Childhood Education".
This work is an important contribution to Early Childhood Education, highlighting the importance of movement and physical activity in the development of the child.
The book explores in detail how play and games are essential for children's learning, in addition to discussing the relevance of gestures and touches in children's development. With clear and objective language, the authors present the main theories and concepts on the subject, and their possibilities for applicability in the classroom.
Early childhood is a crucial period for a child's physical, cognitive and emotional development. It is during this period that the greatest body transformations occur and it is essential to provide a suitable environment for the child to explore and discover his body. In this context, this book becomes essential reading for educators, parents and health professionals who seek to better understand the needs and potential of children.

With "Between games, gestures, touches and games: The discovery of the body in early childhood education", the authors present us with an enriching and thought-provoking work, which invites us to reflect on the role of physical activity and movement in education.
I invite everyone to read this brilliant work, and I hope that it can inspire new practices and initiatives in favor of the healthy development of children.

Good reading!
