1 in 4 kids in Wales is obese.
If obesity didn’t come with significant risk factors I doubt many would care. But it does. And it costs society a lot of money not to fix the problem, but to manage it.
One of the ways we manage the problem is to encourage activity which in turn improves health. But when we are stuck in our ways as we clearly are, maybe there is something that is needed before activity and health. A skill that transcends activity and health, I’d argue that skill is curiosity.
The curious ask, “what else can I do?” Curiosity gets you off the sofa and out exploring. Curiosity gets you eating things that are different, and just maybe not in a packet.
I’m launching the Athletic Kids Conference. A live online conference for teachers, parents, and coaches who want to raise active, healthy, and curious kids. You can register your interest here.
It is not a conference with experts, opinions, and best practise.
It is a place to meet others who like you want to create change.
I look forward to joining you there.
