The exercises described in this book help even young children to bundle their forces, compensate for lack of motion, and create a harmony of body and spirit. A wide range of suggestions prevents boredom: in addition to the classical asanas (postures), there are games for body perception, yoga with verses, stories, and imaginary journeys. Whether "elephant wash" or "magic lion game" these exercises help you to promote the children's health, mental balance, and self-assurance. Whether as a little exercise in between other activities, or as a series of lessons you can start immediately thanks to the detailed didactic comments, and join in yourself!

Many children are losing the natural relation with their own body, resulting in unrest and insecurity. Counteract this development with directly promoting their motor skills at any time, without any preparation, embedded in the institutional routine. These motion stories and games let the children experience their body with all their senses, and try out their skills. The aim is to train conscious listening, observing, feeling and moving, as well as building up trust and confidence. The children take on the role of an animal or an object, act out a story in creative movements, or cooperate with others to make a still-picture. Wind the session up with some agreeable relaxation exercises.

Being touched is a soothing treat for body and soul and essential for body perception and motor skills. Sensitive body contact games help the children to approach each other and trust each other. Interactive massage stories lead the children to conscientious body perception, quiet touch stories wind the session up. In imaginative scenarios, the children guide each other through the jungle with their eyes closed, nibble themselves through a leaf like a little caterpillar, or tickle the partner's back gently with their fingers describing an ant trail. By touching and massaging each other, the children not only develop empathy for others but also for themselves to gain a healthy confidence and a strong personality.

The atmosphere of the white room, its comfortable recliners, the light spots of the mirrored ball that illuminate the room like stars, the coloured bubbles in the bubble columns, and the soft relaxing music invite the visitors of snoezelen rooms to unwind and enjoy a stimulation of their various senses. Snoezelen, developed in the Netherlands originally as a leisure activity for people with mental handicaps, is becoming increasingly popular with educationalists for its highly relaxing effect. This is no wonder because today, it is not only people with handicaps who suffer from sensory overload. Even children react with jumpiness and concentration deficits to a world that has so little room for idleness. The book provides a comprehensive, competent presentation of the snoezelen concept: Everything you need to know about room design, targets and methodology, basic knowledge of relaxation and perception, information on the effects of colours, smells and music, imaginative relaxation stories, and new games and materials addressing all the senses. Among therapists, the term snoezelen has long been a synonym for relaxed sensual perception in a relaxed atmosphere. The term 'snoezelen', pronounced snuz?l?n, is a neologism formed from the Dutch words "doezelen? (dozing) and "snuffelen" (to sniff, explore). "Doezelen" stands for relaxation; "snuffelen" is not only sniffing but all areas of perception, i.e. seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting and probing.
