520    Understanding child development through the prism of the 
       Five Elements adds an exciting new dimension to western 
       thinking on the nurture of children. It can not only 
       explain patterns of behaviour in a new and helpful way, 
       but suggest approaches and methods to help children, and 
       groups of children, become more balanced and therefore 
       happier, more resilient, and more open to learning and new
       experience.The authors explain in detail the 
       characteristics of each of the Five Elements of Chinese 
       thought (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water) with their 
       distinctive modes of expression and potential associated 
       difficulties, and describe the problems that can occur if 
       a child's elements are not in balance. In doing so, they 
       provide a completely new and accessible way of 
       understanding the emotional and behavioural state, and 
       developmental stage of a child, in and out of the 
       classroom. They introduce a wide range of easy-to-do and 
       entertaining exercises and group activities to balance the
       elements, both individually and in groups.This exciting 
       and practical book will help anyone working with or caring
       for children to deepen their understanding of childhood 
       behaviour in general, and of individual children in 
       particular, and to take active steps to nurture their 
       potential, including teachers, therapists, occupational 
       therapists, Chinese medicine and other alternative 
       medicine practitioners, and Qigong and martial arts 
       teachers, as well as parents.
