When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed.
-Maya Angelou

The Exchange resource, Growing with Nature:  Supporting Whole-Child Learning in Outdoor Classrooms, provides this quote from Piaget scholar Hans Furth:

"The importance of movement thinking should not be underestimated.  If the six year old child does not have fundamental control over both general and discriminative movements, he will find it difficult, if not impossible, to move his eyes across the page, look up and down from the chalkboard to his paper, hold a pencil, or compete in play with his peers...If bodily movement is well under control, children can expend minimum energy on the physical mechanics of the task and maximize energy on the thinking related solution."
