Join me and my guest, Dr. Carla Hannaford as we talk about your body and how moving your body affects the development of your mind. Today, children have stopped moving. They spend their hours playing computer games, texting friends and not moving their bodies. You’ll learn how important movement is and how you can help your kids do better in school and in life by getting them to move.

She has been recognized by Who’s Who in American Education and has been a distinguished lecturer for the National Association of Elementary School Principals.
