Summary |
"Our kids are moving less than any other generation in human history; indoor time and screen time have skyrocketed. As adults and kids turn more to "convenient," tech-based solutions, tasks that once required head-to-toe use of our muscles and bones can be done with a click and a swipe. Without realizing it, we’ve traded convenience for the movement-rich environment that our physical, mental, and environmental health depends on. Parents don’t know what to do! But there’s good news: While the problem feels massive, the solution is simple…and fun! Grow Wild not only breaks down the ‘big ideas’ behind movement as a nutrient, it serves as field guide—how to spot all the movement opportunities we’re currently missing. Learn to “stack your life” for richer experiences that don’t take more time: Set up your home to promote more movement - naturally Dress for (movement) success - Add snacktivities to your meals - Plan dynamic celebrations - Create a dynamic homework space - Bring nature into your home and play. ...Humans live in many places and there are countless movement opportunities wherever you live, you just need to know how to spot them" -- Adapted from publisher summary. |
