Constraints lab
Change the child, the task, or the room — and let a better movement emerge.
Change one constraint. Watch three attempts. Do not lecture the joints.
Individual
- · Child is small: start sitting so trunk can rotate without balancing.
- · Fearful: use a scarf so missing is funny, not failing.
- · Strong seeker: heavier beanbag after the pattern appears.
Task
- · Bigger, slower object.
- · Target the size of a hoop, then a bucket.
- · Underhand before overhand.
- · Step onto a taped footprint (opposite foot).
Environment
- · Face a wall so the ball comes back.
- · Outdoor so missing is cheap.
- · Quiet room if auditory seekers overload.
