Título: Cómo desarrollar la psicomotricidad de los niños
Autora: Lisa A. Kurtz
La Sra. Kurtz es una terapeuta con un amplio curriculum de estudios, formación y experiencia profesional para con niños que tienen problemas motores, que tienen autismo, dispraxia, etc.
Ya su padre era especialista en terapias infantiles y por supuesto ella trabaja en un prestigioso colegio de Estados Unidos (y si....si pudiéramos nos iriamos sin dudarlo con Arnau).
En la web del colegio y en internet vemos la foto de esta dama; se trata de una mujer amable, que transmite cariño y cercanía, pero lo más importante es que tras leer uno de sus libros tuve muy claro que la Sra. Kurtz sabe de lo que habla.
En el libro se nos dice que hay niños "torpes"; puede que por varios motivos, factores externos, médicos....Pero un niño que tiene un problema visual generalmente también lo será ya que las diferencias sensoriales y los retrasos de desarrollo provocan que estos niños se queden atrás, de ahí son muchas veces objeto de burla y si a esto le unimos la presión a la que su entorno le somete, muchas veces con buena voluntad, diciéndole que siga adelante, que no se rinda, que lo intente, pues el niño puede frustarse de mala manera.(por que una cosa es aceptar la frustración pero otra es que se convierta en algo cotidiano).
Nos habla de la Terapia de Neurodesarrollo y explica cada una de las palabras que encontraremos en el camino cuando nuestros hijos tienen problemas motores. De hecho tiene un minidiccionario al final del libro que ayuda mucho a comprender conceptos, siglas, etc.
Sin duda el libro lo recomiendo, no sólo por la manera tan clara en la que se explica , también por lo sencillo que puede ser ayudar a un joven y es que con paciencia y observación, pero sobre todo considerando a cada niño como un caso único en lugar de obligarle a ser parte de una estadística éste mejorará; nos explica que por ejemplo en la escritura hay que tener un margen de comprensión porque si intentamos que todo tenga un mismo patrón posiblemente haremos más mal que bien. Por otro lado, vale, hay patologías que quedan lejas de los libros que leo y que pueden no verse mejoradas.....o si puesto que yo aplico en Arnau muchas cosas y veo que el avanza, pero por supuesto cada uno debe hacer lo que crea conveniente y consultar con los profesionales en los que confie.
Además de todo esto, Lisa plantea unas tablas para detectar hipotonia, para explicar los test y como se deben realizar, para indicarnos las terapias ayudan y quien las puede realizar, para hacer trabajos, etc.... Todo muy claro y conciso.Nos habla del equilibrio, de como hacer para que la hora del baño, de vestirse y de la comida no sean un drama y bueno, que es genial tener la oportunidad de leer a Lisa A. Kurtz....es una lástima que este libro no haya sido traducido al español hasta el 2011 cuando ya en el 2003 fue publicado. Pero por suerte ya lo podemos disfrutar.
Recomendado para todo el mundo (familiares, maestros y terapeutas).
Book: How to help a clumsy Child
Author: Lisa A. KurtzMs.
Kurtz is a therapist with a broad curriculum of study, training and professional experience with children with motor problems, who have autism, dyspraxia, etc..And his father was a specialist in pediatric therapies and of course she works at a prestigious U.S. school (and yes .... if we could we would go without hesitation to USA with Arnau).
On the website of college you can see the picture of this lady and she's a kind woman that conveys affection and closeness, but more important is that after reading one of his books had very clear that Ms. Kurtz knows what he speaks.
The book tells us that children are "dumb" may for various reasons, external factors, medical impairements or pathologies .... But a child who has a vision problem so is it usually because the sensory and developmental delays caused that these children are left behind, hence are often teased by others children in school, park etc, and if to this we add the pressure to which it submits its environment (parents, teachers...), often with good will, saying to go ahead, do not give up, try it now, etc, the child can get frustrated badly. (that's one thing to accept frustration but another is to become an everyday thing).
It speaks of the Neurodevelopmental Therapy and explains each of the words that you find on the road when our children have motor problems or similar. Actually has a mini-dictionary at the end of the book that helps a lot to understand concepts, acronyms,etc..No doubt the book I recommend, not only because of the way so clear in which is also explained by how easy it can be to help a young, is that with patience and observation, but especially considering each child as a unique case rather than forcing him to be part of a statistic, she explains that for example in writing must have a margin of understanding because if we try everything to have a pattern possibly do more harm than good. On the other hand, it's okay there are pathologies that are far of this book and other I read and can not be improved ..... or maybe yes!! I apply as many things in Arnau and I see the progress, but of course every one should do he deems necessary and consult with the professionals they rely.
Besides all this, Lisa made a tables of contains in the book really clears to detect hypotonia, to explain the test and how they should do, to tell the therapies help and whoever can make, to do work, etc ....All very clear and concise. The book speaks about balance, how to make bath time, dressing and food are not a good drama, it's great to have the opportunity to read to Lisa A. Kurtz .... it's a shame that this book has been translated into Spanish until 2011 when it was published in 2003. But luckily we can enjoy.
Recommended for everyone (family, teachers and therapists).
