Core text for the internationally renowned Sherborne children's
developmental movement programme. A new forward and new resources
listed. In this practical and thought-provoking book, Veronica
Sherborne shows how developmental movement has a crucial role to
play in the lives of all children. Central to her theory is the
belief that relating to oneself and relating to other people are
essential for the satisfactory development of us all. Developmental
movement can be particularly beneficial to children with learning
disabilities, children with physical disabilities, and children who
are emotionally and behaviourly disturbed. The book offers
practical help in understanding and meeting children's needs. It
covers what to teach and why, and shows in detail - with the aid of
marvellously expressive photographs - how to set about carrying out
a planned programme of activities that are geared to the needs of
specific groups.

at the age of six and against a ten-year-old, and went on to win
thirteen Irish championship titles. In this inspirational book,
Bernard describes life as a boy in Neilstown, the ups and downs of
his life and career, and the powerful life lessons and skills that
