description: From biomechanist and bestselling author Katy Bowman comes her eagerly anticipated book about getting kids—from babies to preteens—and their families moving more, together, outside.Human movement is at an all-time low, and our children are currently facing both a movement and nature deficiency, spending more time inside and moving less than any other generation throughout human history.As adults and kids alike turn more frequently to “convenient” and tech-based solutions, many tasks that once required head-to-toe use of our muscles and bones can be done with a click and a swipe. Without realizing it, we’ve gotten rid of the movement-rich environment our physical, mental, and environmental health depend on…but not our need for it.The good news is, while the problem feels massive, the solution is quite simple…and fun! Bowman, a leader in the Movement movement, has written Grow Wild to show where movement used to fit into the activities of daily life and more importantly, how it can again.
