Promoting play, defending childhood, and empowering caregivers.
Heavy work refers to activities that push or pull against the body or involve carrying. Such activities support physical, social, and emotional development. Sadly, 21st-century kids engage in much less heavy work than previous generations. This training looks at heavy work’s role in learning and development, shares many examples of heavy work, and explores ways to provide kids with more opportunities to engage in heavy work.
