Neuro-motor experience and experimentation is the basis of every somatic, emotional, emotional, relational and social maturation and growth process. From the infinitely large of the external world, even before birth, the baby uses the body to relate to himself and the world around him, making all possible sensory experiences his own through emotions, incising them in the infinitely small of his neuronal synapses and therefore transforming them into neuro-motor learning.

Growing up through sensory experiences and therefore their perceptual functions, the new individual is able to experience the surrounding environment, define its boundaries, the possibilities and limits of action of its body by communicating at the somato-psychic level with its genome and allowing the epigenetic modulation of this as a phenotypic response to the motor and emotional stresses in which it grows.

With play (relationship with objects and the environment and people) and movement not only achieves and perfects important skills such as balance, concentration, attention, physical skills, but also awareness or one's identity bodily (somato-esthetic and somato-sensory) and therefore emotional-relational acquiring awareness of one's own entity with and communicating with others.
