Are you worried your child can't focus or spends too much time on screens? 🧠 Discover how movement and play can build your child's brain connections and focus. Join Dr. Debby Mitchell and Marnie Forestieri as they reveal The Movement Chart — a simple framework to boost learning through play.

Why this matters
Future-ready abilities focus, problem-solving, and pre-writing don't start at a desk; they start on the floor. When kids connect words like high/low and fast/slow to physical actions, they lay the neural groundwork for abstract thinking and literacy.

What you'll get (busy-parent benefits)
A simple Movement Chart to guide playful learning at home
Screen-free activities using items you already have
The clear bridge from gross motor to fine motor and pre-writing
A fun weekly family challenge to get everyone moving and learning
