Why a movement-based approach matters! 

Check out some examples of the strong evidence base for learning approaches that incorporate movement and family coaching.

From one of Cathy’s blog posts: A wonderful (and fun to read!) book that summarizes many reasons why a movement-based approach is so important for any kind of learning: The Extended Mind: The Power of Thinking Outside the Brain, by Annie Murphy Paul. This book summarizes research pertaining to learning through movement, through our natural outdoor spaces, and through each other as a community/group. I love this book since it provides an evidence-base for learning methods that help children learn through their bodies, increase attention via natural environments, and through activities like story telling. When this type of approach is combined with family coaching, children and families thrive.
