We are so excited to share this episode! Lucy presents this topic at conferences, but we are publishing this for you all to listen to FOR FREE! Although, Lucy is not sharing her slides, ha!

We talk about the benefits of children being barefoot, especially outside. Barefoot walking helps with building body awareness, preventing injuries, promoting proper development of foot structure and gross motor skills, encouraging healthy emotional regulation and mindfulness, grounding/earthing, and having fun!

It also helps build those valuable risk assessment skills! We talk about how to implement all of this safely in your homes and classrooms and how to get others on board! Are you a barefoot believer??
