This will result in many peak experiences -- your child will be very happy, learning, and this will directly translate to other areas of study in
formal classroom. Remember that a good mood favorably affects thinking power, too. Success in one area and knowledge that mind controls body will allow your child to realize, "What you think is what you get!" This discovery, together with mind and body awareness, will carry along for a lifetime in general outlook and in individual endeavors. Increase Your Child's IQ Generally speaking, intelligent people live longer. Heredity, however, has little effect on intelligence. A positive living and learning environment does. Essentially, with TMIY, your child can become green growing tip of society. Can a child's I.Q. be raised? Absolutely! Beginning with a stimulating home life, infant I.Q. can be raised with simple stimulation like listening to classical music or reading and other interactions with parent. Games & Skills Taught In "TMIY" This book offers many types of motor control activities -- physical exercise improves mental performance -- and perception games. Those activities cover: 1. General body control 2. Locomotor skills (walking, running, jumping) 3. Non-locomotor skills (twisting, turning) 4. Manipulative skills (throwing, catching, kicking) 5. Specialized skills (rhythmics, stunts, tumbling) 6. Unilateral (touch both hands to both feet) Bilateral (touch right foot with right hand) Cross-lateral (touch left foot with right hand) movements 7. Right and left recognition 8. Audio (listening) skills Visual (seeing) skills Tactual (touching) skills development 9. Creative development of imagination 10. Creative thinking and problem-solving skills 11. Memory development 12. Concentration development 13. Space recognition 14. Time recognition 15. Stress management 16. Harmony with others
There's No Such Thing As "Dumb" Now don't let all those words scare you off! They may sound new to you but, believe me, they are just words. The "outside world" -- only more words -- cannot make you feel dumb. It's what you think and what you know that really counts. Learn this concept, then teach it to your child and watch results. Magic!
In raising children, your expectations count for a lot. Your child needs YOUR help, not mine. I can lead you through each chapter in a way that will be easy to understand. Then you will be so excited and eager to share this knowledge with your child, it won't seem like work at all. And in this busy world in which we live, you will see that you can provide quality time and have fun, too.
Again, that's what good parenting is all about -- to have fun and enjoy your child's company. Teaching useful skills is like icing on cake -- Chocolate!
So this program is a complete plan of seeing, hearing, touching and muscle exercises that you and your child can enjoy doing together SUCCESSFULLY. Failure does not belong in TEACH ME, I'M YOURS Remember, your child goes at her own pace, practicing with you until body and mind learn each process so that, through self-discipline and your encouragement, she ultimately succeeds.
No child should be overcome by challenges that are beyond physical and mental capacities. Therefore, this book contains two programs. One is designed for preschool, Kindergarten and First grade levels (GROUP A), while second is designed for Second, Third and Fourth grade levels (GROUP B). Early Perceptual-Motor Experience Affects Future Learning Development How many children do you know who spend most of their waking hours in front of a television set or run around with no purpose in mind? Perceptual-motor development is recognized by specialists in medicine and education as a very vital part of normal development of an individual. The teachings of Dr. Newell C. Kepart and Dr. Marianne Frostig place considerable emphasis on early motor training and on development of learning patterns. Help For Slow Learners Dr. Gesell's work leaves little doubt concerning importance of early perceptual-motor experience. Help is offered here for "slow learner" or "non-achiever" -- those children who do not seem to learn material from conventional teaching methods. This program gives child a chance to achieve and a chance to grow. It may be first time he has had a success and it will feel good. To learn to have self-respect and a good self-image is an important goal for all children. The child will no longer feel useless. Each can do. Each can solve. Each will succeed!
Through this approach, your child will learn that having friends is important to self-image. He will learn to share, to take turns, to practice Golden Rule. Wars are made and violence is done by people who don't have friends, who never learned that everyone has a right to be.
It is all important that your child learns proper motor patterns on which to build all successive levels of skills. If this is not accomplished, a breakdown in child's progress will result, making her feel overwhelmed with "I'm just a nobody" emotions. Thus, is seed of non-achiever first nurtured. TMIY can alleviate many of problems before they have an opportunity to take root in your child's day-to-day experience.
I wrote TEACH ME, I'M YOURS to help children learn perceptual-motor skills necessary to learn by usual instructional methods in classroom. I want all children to be able to learn in school. To improve memory skills. To reason. To problem-solve, creatively. Having built a good foundation of all these skills, I look forward to seeing fruits of your labor and of mine. We will see children who can move forward with renewed and expanded self-worth toward their full potential in Life. Success belongs to all our children! TEACH ME, I'M YOURS - Review and Recommendation
As you may know I've worked in education for many, many years. ECE wasn't my field, but secondary/adult education and learning disabilities. I love curriculum development, teaching and training, teachers/parents--everyone! And I can see from Joan Bramsch's book TEACH ME, I'M YOURS, that she does as well. Her scope and sequence is excellently planned, laid out and formatted. The content is creative and inspiring as are easy to follow/apply activities and exercises. This is an important book for all parents and educators.
