Balanced and Barefoot

By: Angela Hanscom

This book was written by an OT discussing the sensory and motor benefits of outdoor play for all children. Also discussing how the deficits in outdoor time are impacting our children today! This book will change how you think about all of your child's interactions and experiences!
