12 SECTION B Active Movement/ Koringa Hihiko Develops the Brain Opportunities for Active Movement from birth for all children are essential for brain development. Every movement made, makes connections in the mind/body system. Active Movement will strengthen the connections within the brain and the body. The development of these connections is vital for memory, sensory development, communication between the two sides of the brain, processing of information, participation in the arts and the later formal learning of reading, writing and mathematics. Active movement increases relaxation that allows the brain to process more efficiently and assists retention and learning. From the time of conception until death the brain can continue to grow and develop brain cells (neurons) and connecting pathways. Neural pathways are increased and strengthened with each new experience. More connections, mean more ways information can be processed.
SECTION B 13 Neurons and neural pathways that have been prepared by the brain for use will be “pruned” out if they are not used regularly. The environment and exploratory movement experiences influence how the brain wires itself up after birth. Active Movement increases oxygen and glucose (the fuels) to the brain. Childhood Active Movement prepares the brain for language, art, maths, science, movement, group abilities and intelligences. Active Movement triggers a transmitter that enhances learning by boosting the ability of the brain cells to communicate with each other. Repetition of experiences enhances retention in the brain.
