Children at Their Best

Childhood should be a time of curiosity, a time of self-discovery and a time to learn about the environment and develop a sense of adventure. This book uses the philosophy of the Five Elements from Chinese medicine (wood, fire, earth, metal and water) and their characteristics, to explore balance in children and help them cope with the demands of the modern world. It is full of stimulating games and exercises which will nurture children's emotional and physical energies. Activities are designed for children aged three and upwards, and will help children to activate their energy flow and regain harmony, whilst explaining the benefits and theory behind the activities to parents and carers.This will be a practical and thought-provoking book for parents and adults working with children, looking for original and interesting activities to encourage their child's development.
