Why It Matters
Most failed lessons come from pushing when a channel is closed. Identifying the blockage enables us to pause, provide support, and reopen the pathway.
Example: Teaching a back float
Emotional: child trusts enough to lean back
Physiological: body holds buoyant position
Neurological: brain tracks “chin up, tummy up” together
If one channel closes, the float sinks. When all three align, the skill sticks.
