Why do so many children struggle - and what can be done about it?
A child who cannot sit still. A child who tries desperately to read but the words won't stay still. A child whose emotions overwhelm her without warning. A child whose handwriting is illegible no matter how hard he practises.
These children are not rare. They fill our classrooms and clinics. And for too long, families have been offered only two choices: medication that eases symptoms without touching their cause, or behavioural interventions that help - but only for as long as they continue.
Movement Matters offers a different understanding. Drawing on decades of research across neuroscience, developmental psychology, and clinical practice - and on evidence gathered from programmes in Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States, Singapore, India, Indonesia, and beyond - Moira Dempsey shows that ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and dyspraxia share common neurological roots. At the heart of many of these challenges lie retained primitive reflexes: the automatic movement patterns that should have integrated during the first year of life, but haven't.
When these reflexes persist, they create interference at every level of development - disrupting attention, coordination, reading, writing, emotional regulation, and learning in ways that look like behavioural problems but are actually neurological immaturity.
The extraordinary news is that the brain retains the capacity to complete what was left unfinished. Through gentle, rhythmic movement that replicates the natural movements of infancy, these foundations can be built - at any age.
Grounded in the latest neuroscience and rich with practical guidance, Movement Matters is essential reading for parents, educators, and clinicians who want to understand not just what is happening in these children's brains, but what can genuinely be done about it.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
