Research shows that physical activity improves memory, focus, and problem-solving — yet kids today move less than ever. Sedentary screen time is replacing active play, and it’s harming both bodies and brains.

The Science of Movement & Learning

• Exercise increases blood flow to the brain → stronger memory and cognition.

• Active kids show better focus in class and faster problem-solving.

• Physical play reduces anxiety, improving emotional wellbeing.

The Decline in Activity

• WHO recommends 60+ mins/day of movement.

• Avg. child today gets less than 20 mins/day of active play.

• Obesity rates rose from 20% → 33% in just 20 years.

Why Activity Is Hard for Parents

• Busy schedules → less time outdoors.

• Screen-based entertainment replaces play.

• Parents forced to “nag” kids to exercise.

Making Movement Fun Again

• Turn exercise into missions, challenges, rewards.

• Blend play + learning (dance games, scavenger hunts).

• Encourage family involvement for consistency.
