A teacher sent this to me after posting it on her own page. It's something I've heard time and time again from early childhood and primary school educators. Things like kids can't hop or jump anymore...I think this is occurring from a combination of all of the factors she mentions below - not necessarily something that teachers or parents or screens are wholly responsible for.

Research shows that we're all moving less, but especially our kids, so we really need to be aware of this, talk about it and basically make movement a priority in our kids' lives.

Here's a blog I've written about it a while back... https://www.maggiedent.com/blog/the-magic-of-movement-still-really-matters-in-our-digital-world/

I'm a "Forever Mother:" I'll Take Care of My Child for the Rest of His Life A "Forever Mother" is a mother who will spend the rest of her life taking care of her child’s day-to-day financial and health care needs.

This is SUCH helpful reminder. We're all at different stages in our journey with autism, remember to support others 🥰

The APA is calling for clubs and players to be aware of the increased risk of sports injuries after the long COVID-19 lay off and as Victorians return to a form of normality.
