I have since done someresearch and discovered that this is actually amedicalconditioncalledSOHF(SenseOfHumourFailure).
Therealpurposeoftheemailwastocleanup our database, by simply asking you to click and update your details OR unsubscribe fromourdatabaseifyounolongerwantto/need to hear from us. I realise, in hindsight, thatmychoiceofsubject linewas indeednot everyone’s cup of tea, and for that reason, I apologise unreservedly.

Our senses help promote body awarenessGoodbodyawarenessrequiresoursensesto work as a team. The contribution ofour movement receptors and the visual and tactile senses are most important.Johannesburg-based occupationaltherapist and Clamber Club teacher, Gabbi Katzenellenbogen, explains that bodyawareness develops from our sensorysystems; the vestibular (movement),proprioceptive (body position) and tactilesystems. “Children need to know whattheir bodies are doing in order to learn and interact with the environment.
