We hope the pandemic is over, and with joy, Learn to Move continues to participate as educators in the Early Childhood Educator Training this fall, focusing on the first three foundational years of a child’s life. The course is held this year in Lund, where Helena Lindfors is responsible for the training. She has written the book “De yngsta barnens läroplan” together with Ann Granberg and Camilla Carlberg. The authors highlight the needs and perspectives of the youngest children and call for a curriculum for the very youngest, as the brain develops significantly and is sensitive during this time. They describe, among other things, how attachment to educators is fundamental for security and trust, both in oneself and in the children. It will be exciting and enjoyable to work together with the education coordinator Helena Lindfors.
In 2020, Learn to Move and collaborators constructed a second prototype to teach independent balance during walking. Filip was the first person to practice with the balance trainer. His improvements were significant and exceeded predictions from scientific tools like the Gross Motor Classification System (GMFCS) – he learned to walk independently despite forecasts stating it was impossible. This gives hope for future improvements in the treatment of children with cerebral palsy. Currently, more research is underway with the hope of making the product available to everyone interested by the end of 2021.
In Västervik municipality, children have been involved in giving their opinions on classrooms where they can move a bit, choose positions, and take personal responsibility. In connection with that, Learn to Move was contacted and interviewed about “body and school” – addressing the new challenges we face and how to meet them. Especially exciting that Demokrativerkstaden is participating and allows the children to have their say! Click here to listen to the children and the interview.
Motor development for the very youngest is incredibly important for the overall development of the child. Now Expo Medica’s full-day event on motor development is returning as we hope the COVID-19 situation improves. The course in Malmö will be held on October 8th, and in Stockholm on October 21st. During this full-day training, you will learn about current issues and how to support children and parents for positive development. Especially the newborn period up to 3 months is crucial for a good start and avoiding common issues. The course addresses, for example, WHY tummy time is crucial, when it should be initiated, and when head control should be programmed to be completed.
This year, the Basic Course in Motor Development will be held digitally on May 3-4 due to COVID-19. The course has been somewhat redesigned, with more in-depth focus on motor development, including assessments for very young children. You are warmly welcome to register!
