The Post-Pandemic Classroom Challenge: Developmental Gaps Are Impacting Learning.

Recent research reveals a significant increase in developmental vulnerabilities among young children, particularly those born during and after 2020. This translates to real challenges in your classroom: children resisting reading activities due to infantile reflexes, visual processing, and focus issues; struggling to sit still due to poor core strength; and exhibiting poor self-regulation and impulse control.

Educators are experiencing burnout, questioning their effectiveness, and spending 1-2 hours daily, or up to 30-40% of their instructional time, managing disruptive behavior instead of teaching. This leaves less time for actual teaching and creates a stressful classroom environment.

Teachers are concerned about the long-term impact on students' social skills, resilience, independence, self-esteem, and physical health.

Backed by Research: Proven Results in Movement and Learning.

Our "Ready for Learning" program is built on a decade of research and practical implementation, addressing the critical link between motor development and academic achievement.

• 28% increase in developmental vulnerabilities among children born in 2020-2021 (Birth During COVID-19 study, 2023)

• 14% rise in overall developmental vulnerability (Australian Early Development Census, 2022).

• 47% improvement in concentration through regular movement breaks (International Journal of Educational Research, 2023)

• 40% enhanced handwriting skills.

• 35% better classroom engagement.

• Thompson et al. (2021) found 42% higher literacy achievement in children with strong fundamental movement skills.

• Wilson & Smith (2023) demonstrated that core strength development directly impacts: Attention span (35% improvement), Writing capability (28% enhancement), Visual processing (30% better performance).

Quiz:

Do your students struggle to sit still for extended periods?" (Yes/No)

Do you frequently address blurting out or impulsive behavior?" (Yes/No)

Are your students' handwriting skills below expected levels?" (Yes/No)

Do you find transition times challenging?" (Yes/No)

Do you feel your students struggle to focus on tasks?" (Yes/No)

If you answered 'yes' to 3 or more questions, your classroom may benefit from our Ready for Learning program. Discover how movement can unlock your students' potential.
