This review is from: Ants in Their Pants: Teaching Children Who Must Move to Learn (Paperback)

This book is excellent for anyone who works with a child who must move to learn. I am a child care provider and see a variety of children. Some are quieter, some have loads of energy and are on the move all the time. Parents could benefit from reading this book as well. It is easy to understand and gives strategies for young children who are on the move!

This book is absolutely one of the best on the market - I read it at a local library and needed to have a copy in my home. The child responds well to the hints and play.
