Episode 37 Matt and Megin Sharp: Let Your Kids Be KidStrong
Today we are joined by Matt and Megin Sharp of KidStrong to discuss KidStrong, its principles, its results, and what you can do for your children and students.
We have a great, fast-paced discussion about the importance of movement/exercise to children and how they benefit from it in all areas of life. In this day and age when some schools are mistakenly taking P.E. and recess out of a child's day to make more room for academics, KidStrong (and others) are putting balance and human nature back into our thinking and our living.
Schools, P.E. teachers, teachers, and coaches would benefit from their principles and curriculum -- as would, of course, homeschoolers and Montessori schools in particular. Montessori and KidStrong share some common principles, after all.
We, us humans, are complex, integrated, nonlinear, holistic beings. We are not "linear." We cannot do academics in isolation. We do not have mind separate or divorced from movement. We do not have emotional health or social interaction separate from movement. They all interact; there is nonlinear feedback in the system.
Enjoy the discussion!
