This is where my counseling, coaching and (lack of) physical literacy worlds merge. And what gets me up in the morning!

“Gray notes that continually decreasing levels of play have coincided with increases in depression and anxiety among young people.”

@foes4sports @SHAPE_America Interesting thought to consider! Kids seem to have very definite likes and dislikes, so it makes me wonder how much is neutral for them? Maybe more that sometimes a PA is fun, sometimes unfun? Further research!...

[Christine Hopple @chrishpl]

Thanks #SHAPEAmerica for allowing me to share my findings -- we all learn from what kids have to say! Would love to hear what children you know and teach find to be fun...and UN-fun...about their Physical Activity experiences! #FunPhysicalActivity #UNfunPhysicalActivity https://t.co/nQfVK7ZDXI

Why might students find #physicalactivity fun and UN-fun?? Big thanks to #SHAPEAmerica member @chrishpl @Brockport for sharing what she's learned from students themselves in this month's open access Strategies articles and #edblog! https://t.co/jLk2O4jiSC #BigFeats #physed #PE

....and let's not mistake fun with "silliness". Fun can be competing, working hard and getting better...but it's done with peers you enjoy being with and adults you know care about you! https://t.co/HZ09JfmKkB

Unstructured play allows children not only to play freely using their imaginations and creativity, it also teaches them to work collaboratively, to share, to negotiate, to resolve conflicts, and learn self-advocacy skills. https://t.co/SC6eFVYN2V

Not all communities have safe places to be active. We can create opportunities for #physicalactivity by improving networks, exploring new spaces to be healthy, and engaging those who aren't currently active. #RighttoWalk https://t.co/3UrTGsupa8
