Young children and their bodily demands: body experience, gestures and movements

Abstract

Objective: To analyze the proposed bodily demands in the field of body experience, gestures and movements, guided by the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), approved in 2017. This document, which instituted the alignment of Basic Education learning in the national territory, is about a qualitative research of documentary analysis. We have as a cardinal question the question: How does the field of experience of the body, gesture and movement make it possible to meet the bodily demands of young children? Bibliographic review: A brief historical context is presented, it is known that from the 16th century important changes began, albeit subtle, involving the child in relation to clothing, education and the separation of children according to different social classes. Final considerations: In the documentary proposition, the child needs to experience wide situations that lead him to experience sensations, perceptions, emotions, so that he discovers his potential. In this way, the bodily demands envisioned in the current documents of early childhood education, raise a body: creative, conscious, hygienic and with motor skills, especially manual ones.
