Babies and young children who have experienced early adversity miss out on good, nurturing relationships, and the sensorimotor development that goes along with them. Their bodies therefore lack a solid foundation for sensory integration. This book lays out a practice model - the Building Underdeveloped Sensorimotor Systems (BUSS) model - to help identify and assess whether these gaps are present in a child's sensorimotor systems. It also advocates the potential of rebuilding the gaps in these systems - using games and activities that take place within loving parent-child relationships - to offer the child a healthy, attuned base from which to develop sensorimotor skills. Also included is a section on parents' experiences of using these activities with their children. With a positive view of approaching sensorimotor underdevelopment, these strategies and case studies all demonstrate that, with the right kind of attention, these children's systems can be rebuilt.

"What is the sound of one hand clapping?" "If a tree falls in the woods and no one hears it, does it make a sound?" "Did you ever stop to think and forget to start again?" Sometimes koans can come from the most unlikely places. And sometimes the simplest things can be the most profound. But with the right perspective, enlightenment can be found around every corner and with the turn of every page - even the pages of a children's book. I Scream Koans finds nuggets of enlightenment hidden between the covers of beloved children's titles and shines a new light on them, revealing the Zen wisdom hidden in children's literature.
