Book II: Child Development |
Book II presents child development, from birth to age 3, relying heavily on Myrtle McGraw's studies of Johnny and Jimmy. This process, which Raymond Dart argues is usually lost in the adult's “bespectacled decrepitude,” is revisited with the Alexander Technique. Also presented is the neuro-muscular-skeletal system, particularly the spinal and cranial nerves, as they are the underpinnings of this developmental process, and attempts later in life to relearn it.
