The Well Balanced Child: Movement and Early Learning (Early Years) Review: a groundbreaking book that offers valuable insights - "The Well Balanced Child: Movement and Early Learning" by Sally Goddard Blythe is a groundbreaking book that offers valuable insights into the crucial role of movement in early childhood development. Overall, "The Well Balanced Child" is a comprehensive and informative resource for parents, educators, and healthcare professionals who are interested in supporting children's development through movement and play. It offers practical advice, engaging examples, and a wealth of information on how to create a nurturing environment for children to thrive. Review: Excellent resource for parents and teachers - I heard Sally Blythe speak in the UK a few weeks ago, and was very taken with her message. As a teacher with over 40 years experience, I recognized many difficulties children had in learning, but never realized the extent to which infant development impacted children as they grew. I always wanted the children who wrote with their heads on the desks, and their arms outstretched to the paper, to "sit up straight" to do their best writing. I learned through this book that this child has not gone beyond infantile reflexes because she has not had the opportunity to crawl and creep and climb. So often infants and young children are placed in car seats or carried that it limits their physical growth and later their ability to be attentive in a classroom. All teachers of young children should be aware of what is at stake here, and parents may need to give their children more "floor time" in order to stimulate and develop these critical powers. I highly recommend this book because it also offers ideas for overcoming deficits which persist in older children. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #627,694 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #553 in Medical Child Psychology #800 in Popular Child Psychology #1,172 in Early Childhood Education | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 115 Reviews | ## Images ![The Well Balanced Child: Movement and Early Learning (Early Years) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Rtjd77tqL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ a groundbreaking book that offers valuable insights *by M***S on October 23, 2024* "The Well Balanced Child: Movement and Early Learning" by Sally Goddard Blythe is a groundbreaking book that offers valuable insights into the crucial role of movement in early childhood development.

I wish I had discovered this book earlier - the majority of that time I could have utilised going deeper into the wide range of references Sally Goddard Blythe has also provided. I have been actively encourageing my colleagues in the High School situation, in different Martial Arts organizations, and in the Circular Strength Training groups, to purchase this text as a integral and very valuable resource. I would also love to meet this lady - what a absolute treasure house of ideas she would be, for stimulating new, exciting ways of instruction for all. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/10132809-the-well-balanced-child-movement-and-early-learning-early-years](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/10132809-the-well-balanced-child-movement-and-early-learning-early-years) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
