Look closely
Study a picture, then find the five things that changed in the second one.

Why I wrote Neuro Games
My new book, Neuro Games, is now on Amazon.
Many of you know me as the director of Coddy. For more than 10 years I have worked with children, and again and again I saw the same thing: kids engage differently when they can think and move at the same time.
At home, while practicing with my own kids, I collected activities from textbooks and video lectures. Little by little the idea grew to bring them together in one book.
My toughest examiner was our grandmother, a doctor with 40 years of practice who spent years caring for children at the Suvorov Military School and a children's wushu federation. She quizzed me on anatomy and physiology before my exams, and her checks would make Minos and Procrustes look lenient.
The result is 60 short challenges, most of them pairing a puzzle with a move. One minute your child is spotting what changed in a picture, the next they are reaching a hand to the opposite knee or standing on one foot.
The illustrations were drawn by AI from my detailed instructions, which helped keep the book affordable. The concept, the choice and adaptation of every activity, the two age versions, and all the checking and redoing are human work.
