Community Lecture with Jane Swain at the Waldorf School of Atlanta

Community Lecture with Jane Swain, Pediatric Physical Therapist, Spacial Dynamics Trainer and Adult Educator

October 25, 7:00 pm

Hazelwood Hall at the Waldorf School of Atlanta, 827 Kirk Road, Decatur

 What do children's games and activities have to do with developing healthy personal and
interpersonal space and a balanced relationship in the three planes of space,
and why is this important?  Why do young
children love "Ring Around the Rosie"?  Why does Joey insist on climbing up onto the

back of the sofa and jumping down to fall on the floor?  Why have public grade schools across the
country banned the age-old favorite game of tag at recess?  Why doesn't Susie "sit up" at her desk in school? 

Children's movements have a spatial component to
them, which if made known, can transform our understanding of our children's
behaviors. Jane will draw upon her rich experience of working with children of
all ages to illustrate basic principles of the human being's spatial journey
over time, so that parents can go home equipped with new insights to support
their children's healthy spatial development.
