This vintage conference proceedings volume offers a fascinating glimpse into the early years of child development research and education. Chaired by Dell C. Kjer, a pioneer in the field of physical education for young children, the conference brought together experts from various disciplines to discuss the importance of motor development in early childhood. At a time when many educational philosophies prioritized academic rigor over physical activity, this work advocated for a more holistic approach that recognized the crucial role of movement and play in a child’s overall growth and well-being.
Featuring contributions from leading figures in education, psychology, and health sciences, this book provides a rich historical context for understanding the evolving perspectives on early childhood education in the latter half of the 20th century. Its well-preserved condition, despite its former library status, makes it an intriguing addition to any collection focused on the history of childhood studies, physical education, or the development of educational theories.
