Sitting and moving
Historically mankind has always been active. Hunting, gathering food, moving, and exploring new territories. Modern life is passive. As adults we spend, in general, a majority of our time sitting in front of the computer, the television, or in our cars. But how does this affect us and more importantly how does this affect our children?
Our children grow and develop actively, not passively. And whilst sitting is a necessary activity, their bodies are not designed to sit for durations or longer periods of time. When your child is sitting, it should be in a chair that encourages and allows active movement.
The short film “Our active past, our passive present”, illustrates the comparison between the movements of our bodies throughout a typical day.
The film compares our ancestors historical movements against those of our own in today's modern society and poses the question of natural development for ourselves and our children.
