Teaching contains the foundations of wellbeing: purpose, relationships, hope and positivity. But those same things can also make it overwhelming. The challenge is holding onto what’s good without being consumed by what’s hard. amzn.eu/d/05GL0IHu

There are so many changes we can make in our daily lives to support young people to move more for their physical and mental health, but to create longlisting widespread change, we need to create momentum. With this in mind, it's never been more important to have your voice heard and ensuring that your local MP is aware of these issues is key. To get involved with this, please like, comment on and share our content while tagging your MP to highlight the importance of movement for young people in early year settings. Visit our website today to make real change and join us on our mission to get all young people moving. youthsporttrust.org/healthym… #HealthyMovers

The Government was right to identify school readiness as an urgent priority in today's PM's speech. We are encouraged by their commitment to raise the number of children who are ready to start school from 67% to 75%. Physical activity, and the role it plays in cognitive, social, emotional and physical development must be central to delivering this ambition. On World Children’s Day our National School Sport Champion @Mo_Farah brought together a series of leading British Olympians and Paralympians to call on the Government to increase physical activity levels in early years, by ensuring early years providers are able to support physical development so all children are healthy movers before starting school. youthsporttrust.org/healthym… #PlanforChange #PMSpeech @Keir_Starmer
