Lack of chewing and mechanical use of our joints such as the jaw has a lasting impact on our physiology. Human movement is at an all-time low and our children are currently facing both a movement and nature deficiency, with physical, mental and environmental consequences. Let’s discuss about, why is Movement Important for Children.
Movement is a part of a child’s growth and development.
The good news is, while the problem feels massive, the solution is quite simple…and fun.
This week I’m interviewing Biomechanist Katy Bowman from @nutritiousmovement. Katy teaches movement globally and speaks about sedentarism and movement ecology to academic and scientific audiences. Her work has been featured in diverse media such as the Today Show, CBC Radio One, the Seattle Times, and Good Housekeeping.
Her new book ‘Grow Wild’ teaches the consideration of chewing and jaw movement as strategies on how to get kids – from babies to preteens – and their families moving more, together, outside for healthier bodies. Make sure to join live for lots of practical tips on how to grow wild children. You can by her book here:
