Today, our 'digitally distracted' way of life creates social disconnect, poor mental health, obesity and unhappiness. Basic movement skills, like jumping, running, skipping, throwing are difficult activities for some kids they don’t know how to move. This adds to issues of increased screen time and decreased outdoor free play. In this episode Melanie, talks to us about going beyond physical fitness and developing Physical Literacy in our children, which is a combination of motivation, confidence, and physical competence to be active.
Melanie Levenberg is an author, teacher and expert in children’s fitness. In 2020 alone, over 1 million kids participated in PL3Y fitness programs that follow 3 rules: Be Positive. Be Fun. Be Yourself.
