There is a window in your kid's life right now.

The years where their body and brain are most receptive to building movement, coordination, and a real relationship with their own physicality. The research calls it the FUNdamental and Training to Train stages, roughly ages 6 through 14.

This window does not stay open forever. And right now, in the United States, we are closing it faster than ever. Recess is shrinking. Screen time is winning. Specialization is replacing variety.

We wrote a new blog post about the window, what is happening to it, and what your kid actually needs during these years. We also break down what Ardent's youth programs do that aligns with the research.
