Publisher's Summary

From biomechanist and bestselling author Katy Bowman comes her eagerly anticipated guide to getting kids from babies to preteens and their families moving more, together, outside.

Winner of Gold INDIE Book Award from Foreword Reviews! (Family & Relationships category).

Our kids are moving less than any other generation in human history; indoor time and screen time have skyrocketed. As adults and kids turn more to "convenient," tech-based solutions, tasks that once required head-to-toe use of our muscles and bones can be done with a click and a swipe.

Without realizing it, we’ve traded convenience for the movement-rich environment that our physical, mental, and environmental health depends on. But there’s good news: While the problem feels massive, the solution is simple…and fun!

Grow Wild not only breaks down the ‘big ideas’ behind movement as a nutrient, it serves as a field guidehow to spot all the movement opportunities we’re currently missing.

Learn to “stack your life” for richer experiences that don’t take more time:

  • Set up your home to promote more movement, naturally
  • Dress for (movement) success
  • Add snacktivities to your meals
  • Plan dynamic celebrations
  • Create a dynamic homework space
  • Bring nature into your home and play…and much more!

Bowman has written Grow Wild to show where movement used to fit into the activities of daily life and more importantly, how it can again.

The perfect companion to Bowman’s bestseller Move Your DNA, Grow Wild provides practical, everyday, nature-rich ideas on how to let kids move their DNA while doing things they’ll love and is necessary reading for a wide range of readers anyone who spends time with children. Humans live in many places and there are countless movement opportunities wherever you live, you just need to know how to spot them. Children and their families can thrive by learning to move more inside, adventure more outside, and grow wild in any environment.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Such an inspiring book!

I got so many amazing ideas from this book. I honestly wasn't sure what to expect from it - oh wow, such a lovely surprise. The birthday walk idea almost made me cry too - this one will definitely be one that I will try to introduce at home.

A brilliant reference!

Katy succinctly explains why movement matters not only for our children, but for parents, grandparents and Alo parents too! She gives great examples of how to include more movement in our days and why it’s so important. Great book, well worth listening to.
