Children sit too much. They sit in silence, hunched over a cell phone, iPad, Kindle, or computer. Their fingers are the only body part moving, and only in repetitive motions - for hours on end. Technology has contributed to children moving their bodies and using their voices less and less. 'Let's Move! Let's Talk! Let's Go!' is an antidote for these current trends and describes games supported by original poetry and illustrations. This book provides easy-to-follow guidelines for the caregiver and child. Who is qualified to be a leader of the games? Everyone! The game leader does not need to have any special training. The leader can be a teacher, parent, sibling, or babysitter. Where can the games be played? Everywhere! All the games can be played without any special space or equipment requirements.

"This is a welcome book to the children's market. The integration between movement in body and voice to convey expression is wonderfully accessible. Many texts deal with speech and movement separately; here we are presented with the fullness of both. And, as we are more fragmented via computer technology, this book gives budding learners a chance for clear communication and action." - Cheryl Clark, CMA, BMC®, RSME/T, Senior Faculty member at the Laban Institute of Movement Studies, NYC, and on the faculty at the College for Performing Arts at The New School. "This book is a terrific resource for dance teachers, classroom teachers, music teachers, and families. It is a creative and practical book that provides ideas, teacher prompts, imagery and rhymes to introduce young children to the building blocks of expressive dance and dance-making through the lens of Laban Movement Analysis. Early childhood is a pivotal time for brain and body development and this book is a wonderful addition to the field of dance in early childhood." - Deborah Damast MA, Director and Clinical Associate Professor of Dance Education at NYU Steinhardt. "This book is a useful tool to any pediatric occupational therapy practice. The book captures ways to teach clinicians, parents, and caregivers how to inspire and grow a child's human potential through the connection to their bodies and emotions. The book's poetry, games and fundamental use of breath are creative and playful additions to an occupational therapist's sensory integration toolkit." - Carol Battistone, M.A., OTR/L, 29 years in private practice, NYC.
