Balanced and Barefoot: How Unrestricted Outdoor Play Makes for Strong, Confident, and Capable Children Paperback - 2016 - 1st Edition

by Angela J. Hanscom; Foreword by Richard Louv


From the rear cover

Today it s rare to find children rolling down grassy hills or climbing trees just for fun. We ve taken away merry-go-rounds and teeter-totters to keep kids safe. And as children s lives become more virtual via TV, smartphones, and computer screens, teachers are noticing a decrease in attention and doctors are reporting an alarming increase in sensory and emotional disorders. So, how can you ensure your child is fully engaging their body, mind, and all of their senses? In "Balanced and Barefoot," Angela Hanscom, a pediatric occupational therapist and founder of TimberNook, shines a light on the silent epidemic affecting modern kids, explains why unrestrained movement and outdoor play are "vital" for your child s cognitive and physical development, and even offers fun, engaging strategies to help ensure that kids grow into healthy, balanced, and resilient adults.
