There's never been a more important time to support children to move
There is real urgency here. Pressures around children are increasing and opportunities for child-led play are diminishing. Screen-dominated learning drives an ever more sedentary and disembodied education culture, and as more children need support for a range of additional needs, it has never been more important to come back to the body to ensure that children develop the highest levels of physical confidence and connection.
We need new ways to support complex 21st century lives.

Movement play creates powerful experiences that fuel learning development and wellbeing
The Jabadao approach champions free flow Movement Play as a key learning tool.
It’s powerful and joyous body work, good for health, wellbeing, happiness and learning. And it reaches parts that other movement programmes don’t reach.
Children are brilliant at putting Movement Play at the heart of their lives. We adults have an important role in making sure they have all the opportunities they need - and can make the most of them.
