How We Move: Book 1 of the Young Athletic Movement Series

"How We Move" is Book 1 of the Young Athletic Movement series. Young Athletic Movement media was created to teach young children good basic movements early in life that will become good movement habits for the rest of their lives. The basic movements introduced in Book 1: breathing, sitting, standing, and walking are essential subconscious movements that can contribute to the overall health and athleticism of the young person listening. The rest of the series follows suit with Book 2 entitled "Squat, Jump and Build Your Rump." We consider these the next basic movements to master. Because we are focusing on learning for toddlers, the reading time for the series books are between two and five minutes. This is the range that most toddlers actually learn in. The coloring consists mainly of red, yellow, and blue, outlined in black, which are the earliest colors that babies start to recognize. These colors attract the toddlers' attention helping to cement the subconscious learning base. The science is made understandable with characters illustrated by Patrick Carlson (including animals), and a rhythmic cadence that is easy to recite, remember and repeat at appropriate times. For instance the book starts with " How Do We Move, it starts with food!" This phrase that can be repeated at meal times to remind the child to have a healthy relationship with food. It's good for children to remember food should be used to fuel the body for what it is about to do, and replenish nutrients which have been recently expended. There are currently three more books in the ( a total of 5) "It's Fun to Run", "How We Recover", and "What We Know About H20." These books will be released between June of 2024 and December of 2025.
