Over the last decade, young people have begun spending drastically more time engaging with media, particularly digital media. This often exposes them to content and influences far beyond their maturity levels. The messages, images and information they engage with every day through media help shape their beliefs, attitudes, values, and identity. That’s why it’s so important to empower young people with the skills to recognize the shaping effects of media.

For many students, physical education is critical to becoming active and developing healthy routines. But how is this possible anymore with the repercussions of the pandemic? Years of COVID-19, social distancing, and virtual learning have all had a profound effect on students, which means educators need to adjust their classes accordingly. The good news is that P.E. can still play a vital role in helping students intellectually, emotionally, physically, and socially.

The other day I had a conversation with a therapist and youth sports advocate who is doing some great work in building greater connection between coaches, athletes and parents. Our conversation led us to discuss why so many kids that he sees in his practice are put under so much pressure in sports, often by well intentioned parents and coaches. It reminded me of an article I published back in 2014, and have rewritten here today.

As physical educators, I believe that we can make a big difference in the gym, teaching peace and love through our everyday practices. The purpose of this article is to give you some ways to promote a gentler and kinder classroom, which in turn can promote peace in the home and peace in our world.

Physical education is an important part of the development of the whole person: physically, socially, emotionally, and cognitively. By providing education in movement competency, education on using movement to develop the ability to be self-regulated and motivated, and education through movement to develop ‘habits of mind’ for positive and constructive engagement with others, PE provides a basis for personal and community health and wellbeing.

To think that this is potentially the first Olympics they will remember is an incredible opportunity to tie in our learning standards with the games.
