Somersault

THE EVILS OF THE “RESTING CURE” “You think you have mastered it, but just as you get well underway in following, it turns a back-somersault and there you are.

Elmer, now actively trying to find Ophelia, was still unable to glean her whereabouts, all he could come up with was a general direction and he wasn't certain even of that. Never before had he been so blind to the future, it was as though someone had turned off the heavenly lights and he was feeling his way through a dark world, lit only by the occasional firefly. Elmer caught a glimpse of the

One part of child's development is acquiring motor skills. Mastering gross and fine motor skills are important for child's growth and independence. Good motor control helps children explore the things around them and help with their cognitive development. Motor skills do not develop in isolation.

Self-Preservation is Not the Bee’s Knees: A Refutation to Part III of Spinoza’s Ethics Benedict de Spinoza takes an unique stance in his Ethics, claiming all things exist only to prolong their own existence and preserve their essence. Yet there are plenty of examples in nature alone that seem to counter his claims where creatures strive for an action that will lead to their deaths, as seen in the case of various species of spiders and bees. However, Spinoza’s claim that things strive to preserve

The Trickster in Myth Trickster myths, a significant part of most cultures if not all, have permeated the legends and folklore of peoples since the early days of civilized man. The ancient Greeks had Hermes, the Chinese the Monkey King, and the Native American Indians the coyote. These diverse tricksters found within cultures often have many commonalities with each other, and then, often they do not.

Sequence of development is the order in which the development happens. Physical development follows a definite sequence. An example of this would be that a child would have to first learn how to walk before they can run. Information and sources we receive are only guidelines. These help us to monitor what children can and can't do at certain stages in their lives.
