Mona’s Mitten: A Story to Move to

Through her work as a licensed physical therapist and a certified practitioner of the gentle, functional Feldenkrais method, author wanted to use this story to encourage physical activity to the many children who spend too much time: sitting. They start out reluctantly strapped to car-seats, highchairs and strollers, later they sit in front of the TV, PC or with bent necks texting on their cell phones. Through movement children learn about themselves and their world and develop the strength, flexibility, coordination, balance, posture and healthy body weight needed to be able to reach goals and fulfil dreams.
