The Importance of Movement in Kids

I think that human adults have a much greater need for movement than we are currently feeding ourselves, so to speak. I would speculate that it's greater in childhood for those reasons of setting up an adult body that can thrive longer. It doesn't mean that you have to go running for 10 miles, but it's the idea that your body is really suited to take shorter bouts of lots of different types of movement. But I think kids are, they tend to be more fearless and more exploratory through movement.
