Description
Book Introduction
“30 minutes of physical activity a day awakens a child’s limitless potential!”
"Everything About Physical Play, from Korea's First Child Development Expert"
"A body movement guidebook that soothes the hearts of parents of children who are slightly slow-moving and offers practical solutions to their concerns."

For a child's brain and senses to develop well, they need a variety of experiences, interactions, and stimulation.
However, children living in the COVID-19 era, where even going outside for a short time is unsafe, are spending time alone, unable to go to school properly or meet friends.
In an era of infectious disease pandemics with no end in sight, the number of children experiencing developmental issues of all kinds continues to rise.
The author, who is the 'first child development expert in Korea' and has met thousands of slightly slower children, says that the most important thing for children who are slightly slower and clumsy than their peers is '30 minutes of physical play a day.'


"Slow and Clumsy Children's Body Movement is the Answer" introduces a body movement method that can be the key to solving worries for parents who worry about whether their children are okay while watching their children of the same age talking and running around eagerly.
The author, an expert in child development and the head of the development center 'Touch Eye', will teach you everything from observing your child's body and checking development to body play know-how and easy-to-follow body play.


Physical activity isn't just for slower kids.
The author says that the more children play and interact with their parents, the better their relationship with them, as well as their problem-solving and self-directed thinking skills.
Even if today is a little slow, spend 30 minutes a day with your child who will be the brightest star tomorrow.
You will see your child growing up at a rapid pace every day.

Prologue: Why a Leading Expert on Autism and Developmental Disabilities Plays with Children Every Day

Chapter 1: Why Your Child Needs Physical Play

In this age of cutting-edge technology, the number of children with developmental disabilities is increasing.
Children these days grow up alone
In a world gripped by COVID-19, children are becoming lonelier.
An overly comfortable environment threatens a child's brain.
A child should grow like a weed in a field, not like a greenhouse flower.
Children should play together, not alone.
'Play' is a process of facing and communicating.

Chapter 2: To a child, the body is the brain.

The best way to develop a child's sense of touch is through body play.
The greater meaning of physical contact with children
The development of a child's body is the development of the brain.
The formation of a body map begins with a single point: 'contact.'
If the center of the body is strong, our children will also be strong.

Into the book
What if a child grows like a greenhouse plant instead of a tree, which is supposed to thrive? A greenhouse plant will quickly wither and break if taken outside.
It is natural that it cannot grow as tall as a tree, and it cannot even grow as tall as a weed, let alone a tree.
Our children will have to go out into the bigger world in the future.
That world will be new at every moment, and countless things will unfold that feel unfamiliar, uncomfortable, and difficult.
For a child to be healthy, he or she must adapt well to this larger world.
If you raise your child like a greenhouse plant, the only place he or she can stay is the greenhouse.
Our children need to actively experience new and diverse things in a world that is bigger and wider than the greenhouse and make them their own.

In a society that is becoming increasingly individualistic, we are forgetting the crucial premise of play: that many people come together.
As a result, our children are not getting enough proper play experiences.
At home, I mostly spend time with my mom or grandma, playing with toys and reading books on my own.
But to be precise, this is not 'what was discussed' but 'what was seen'.
It is simply an observation of pictures and objects.
Often, mom and dad would play with the child, but after playing with dad for a while, the child would face mom, communicate for a while, and then immediately do something that is familiar to each other.
The meaning of play, which is more important than eating and should be done as frequently as breathing, has been distorted, and children are spending their playtime without communication.

The reason we play with our bodies every day is to help our children better accept stimuli from the external environment.
The goal is to provide an experience of solving problems by actively thinking and taking the initiative through body-to-body contact.
The child makes contact, focuses on the present situation, and accepts new stimuli.
Through the received stimuli, we think, make sounds, speak, and feel emotions.
This leads to spontaneous actions and speech, which manifests as proactive and assertive behavior.

Children need to walk, run and move more meaningfully.
Because you need to broadly understand the body's senses.
As a child walks or runs, he or she becomes aware of the changes in his or her body position and space.
That is, it is about moving from a narrow place to a wide place, from a low place to a high place, and feeling a sense of space and position.
Also, children feel the wind and speed with their bodies when they walk and run.
Realize that your speed changes depending on your movements, and move from slow to fast and then even faster.
Moving while feeling the sensations of the body like this is an essential process for development.

Autistic tendencies are difficult to break out of with weak stimulation.
When your mom calls you, it's natural to feel a little nervous, a little stressed, and try to gauge the mood.
A mother who loves her child must be strong and resolute.
Only then will the child have the strength to go out into the world and win.
Our world is full of stimulating things that steal our children's attention.
We desperately need to protect our children from these things.
So parents, especially mothers, need to become stronger.
We hope that all children and mothers with autistic tendencies and developmental disabilities will become stronger and that their children's treatment and growth will bear fruit.

Publisher's Review
"I heard the kid next door started talking at the age of five, so I guess my kid will be okay too."
Don't waste time with vague expectations.


Many parents try to suppress their anxiety by hearing things like, "The first child is naturally a bit slow," or "It might be a little slow, it's okay."
You shouldn't overlook this noticeable change in your child.
When you start to notice changes, you need to focus more on your child and spend more time with him or her.
Although there may be individual differences, there are areas that must be developed at each stage of a child's growth.
Rather than having vague expectations, make more eye contact and play with your child.

The clue to your child's growth lies in their body.

You can tell if your child is developing healthily by looking at his or her body.
The author says that you can figure out a child's lifestyle habits just by having them spread their palm wide and looking at the angle between their thumb and middle finger.
We provide a checklist to observe which body parts your child uses more or less, which muscles are more or less developed, and provide specific, customized body movements accordingly.
All the hints to help our slightly slow-growing children grow are in the child's 'body'.
Observe your child's body carefully through "Slow and Clumsy Child's Body Movement is the Answer."


The worries of parents with a child who is a little slow,
Korea's No. 1 child development expert will help you solve your problems.


We introduce a body play prescription for parents who are concerned about seemingly trivial issues, such as children who do not get along with other children, children who are late in potty training, and children who have difficulty controlling their emotions.
Just because children often have problems doesn't mean you should discipline them harshly or vaguely assume they'll figure it out on their own someday.
This too can be quickly improved by playing with your child.
Help your child overcome developmental challenges with the body play prescriptions introduced by the author.

What you need is a healthy body for both the parents and the child!
Here are a variety of body movements you can start doing right now.


Children need to be active and play in a variety of ways to grow up healthy.
They learn a variety of sensations by using their joints in various ways, recognizing the changing positions of their bodies, and comparing the size of their own bodies to that of their parents.
We know that it is good for children to play with their bodies, but it is not easy for parents to play with their children for 30 minutes straight.
This is because children who are a bit slow and clumsy often do not like or refuse to play with their parents at first.


For parents who are unfamiliar with body movement, we introduce a 30-minute body movement curriculum and various body movements that can be easily done at home.
At first, it may feel awkward to cuddle with your baby.
Don't worry if you check your watch every five minutes.
Once you get used to playing with your child, you will find yourself having fun for more than 30 minutes before you know it.

We share the touching story of parents who achieved a miracle through 30 minutes of daily, 100-day physical activity.

From the moment we first realized our child was a little different from his peers, to the day-by-day changes in our child as they play, to the touching moment when they finally open their mouths and say "water."
We've included a heartwarming 100-day body movement review that will comfort the hearts of parents with children who are a little slow.
This story, which records in detail every 10 days the child's daily growth through physical play, provides courage and hope to parents who are struggling with similar concerns.
Come experience a story that will make your heart flutter and feel proud, as if you were seeing your own child.
