Smart Moves is a 1995 book by Dr. Carla Hannaford in which she looks at the body's role in thinking and learning. She examines the body - mind - environment(stress) relationships, and how it affects child and adult's normal everyday lifes.
Carla Hannaford invents the term SOSOH(Stressed Out, Survival-Oriented Humans) for people having learning disabilities or learning, or attention difficulties. She argues that ADD, ADHD, and all other learning problems are related to stress, as stress produces survival-oriented behavior which inhibits learning.
Smart Moves puts forward approaches to help learning, some of them are:
- Dietary awareness, drink enough water, less suger intake, ...
- Help the Brain to perceive events less stressful by doing physical exercises, Brain Gym
- Create a less stressful environment for people with learning difficulty
