Author Rae Pica's Body, Mind, and Child podcast series


Human Kinetics author Rae Pica is more than just an author and instructor, she’s also the executive director of Body, Mind & Child, a Web site and more developed by early childhood professionals to bring the best and latest insights and knowledge directly to parents. Body Mind & Child also produces podcasts, usually an interview with another child development specialist. These podcasts are directed towards parents, teachers, and school and district administrators—acknowledging that the key to a child’s success in life is a healthy mind in a healthy body.

 

 

Rae Pica, BS, has been a children’s physical activity specialist since 1980. A former adjunct instructor with the University of New Hampshire, she is the author of 17 books, including Experiences in Movement, the award-winning Great Games for Young Children, and A Running Start: How Play, Physical Activity, and Free Time Create a Successful Child, written for the parents of children birth to 8.
