Understanding our health and wellbeing should be a lesson we learn before we learn anything else.

After a career in primary education Nick Clement founded CHI Education to champion movement, wellbeing & physical literacy in education and advocate for whole‑child development & early years innovation.

In this episode of Fit For My Age, Nick and host Michael Millward discuss the lifelong impact of giving young children an understanding of health and wellbeing. As Nick says in the primary years of education children are like learning sponges, they absorb knowledge at an amazing rate, and it sticks with them.

Their conversation covers

• What a child really needs to learn
• The impact being engaged with health and wellbeing has on wider learning
• Building respect for others and self-respect
• Learning values
• Developing soft skills that improve employment and life chances
• Conflicts between home and school values
• Parental involvement with schools

This episode will inspire any parent of primary school or early years children to get involved constructively with their child’s education. They will be surprised by how things have changed since their days in school.
