Spontaneous play is the natural language through which the child expresses their inner world. Psychomotoricity uses this play as an observation tool and as an opportunity to accompany the child in the discovery of self, others, and the world. It is a precious educational tool based on the uniqueness of human beings, the importance of movement and experimenting through the body, the valuation of skills, the welcoming of emotions, and the centrality of relationships. Psychomotoricity is an emotional gym that helps boys and girls develop skills that are useful even in adulthood.
Psychomotoricity
is for everyone.
It accompanies and supports:

and valuing global growth while preventing distress.
Let’s
try to step into a session. What happens?
Each meeting is divided
into three phases.
The
Initial Moment: We sit in a circle, greet each other, share stories,
and establish the rules of play.
The
Play: 1, 2, 3, go… the play begins and every session is a
surprise. Children are free to move in the space, abandon themselves
to pleasure and fantasy using unstructured materials that can be
transformed and reinterpreted. The practitioner observes what emerges
and relaunches, mirrors, and accompanies the play, helping to create
meaning.
Jumps,
balance games, and rolling make them feel their body boundaries and
their strength. Animal dens or houses make us feel safe; building
restaurants opens us up to others and brings us into the
relationship. Fantasy and creativity, together with the pleasure of
moving, give birth to stories, inventions, and opportunities to try
to feel good with oneself and others. They bring out fears and needs
that, within the play, can find a safe space to be expressed or
processed.
The
Final Phase: We take a moment to slow down and let emotions settle.
Through activities like drawing, reading, or modeling, we
transition from the excitement of play to a calm state before saying
goodbye.
