In early childhood education, children find in their own body and
movement the main way to get in touch with the reality that
surrounds them and, therefore, acquire knowledge about the
environment in which they grow and develop. Undoubtedly, the
progressive discovery of the body itself as a source of feelings
and sensations, as well as exploring the different possibilities of
action and bodily functions, constitutes necessary experiences on
which children's thinking is built. Furthermore, the affective
relationships established in psychomotor education situations, and
particularly through play, are essential for the emotional
development of children. Physical Education Initiatives for Early
Childhood Learners offers globalized educational practices,
didactic approaches, and proposals for intervention around motor
development in the children ages 0-6 years. The book specifically
explores laterality, coordination, relaxation, rhythm, etc. and how
these are achieved through games, music, and motor stories. This
book is ideal for early childhood educators, physical education
teachers, administrators, daycares, preschools, early childhood
learning centers, researchers, academicians, and students
interested in physical education's role in early child development.
