Children are the future of our planet, yet the ways in which we are raising and educating children with technology are no longer sustainable. Sedentary, overstimulated, isolated and neglected, today’s child has an alarming increase in attachment and developmental disorders. We have unconsciously created a virtual reality that children now call “home”, a reality devoid of critical factors for growth and success: movement, touch, human connection and nature.
Now is the time to plant the seed for children to grow and learn in new and conscious ways. Moving Beyond the Screen requires team strategies which are research evidenced. Join Moving to Learn on this epic journey in creating sustainable futures for all children.
