We have forgotten that children’s bodies are hardwired exactly the same today as children from the ’70s, the ‘50, and even caveman days.  Children are still learning their bodies at the same rate and pace as previous generations. Yet today, when we ask them to sit to learn too early, we are asking their brains to do things they are not equipped to do.  Their bodies have not finished learning about space, rhythm, and direction.  We are asking them to perform at a higher academic level when they haven’t even figured out where their bodies end and begin and how to move their bodies with control.
So what is the answer?  In my world, we call it big-body play.  Kids need movement to sit still!
