In massage school I learned we have memory cells running through our muscles, which slapped me up side the head of my understanding, because I can be shown how to follow a set of instructions five times in a row and not remember until I DO them!

Children read body language before they can read words on a page so instead of telling the reader what kind of person Paul is, in Dragon’s Tale we see it.
His sister, Anna, says, ‘”She just flew down out of the sky and never went home!”
Paul’s eyes looked up at the ceiling and he said shaking his head, “Anna doesn’t know what’s real and what’s fiction.’

This is a lot more fun than me telling you Paul is independent and feeling very mature.  nancymauerman.com
