Balanced and Barefoot

Do you remember when your mama would say, “Run outside and play?” In Balanced and Barefoot, Angela Hanscom shares scientific research explaining why this may have been not only one of the most mentally shaping and physically developing directives your mother could have given but also emotionally stabilizing, grounding you for the rigor of academics. Hanscom skillfully but simply arms you with an awareness of the therapy found in nature and the detriments of screen time. This book is highly recommended for all first-time parents, elementary teachers, and other parents looking to make a positive impact on the trajectory of their children’s lives.
