Slow down we are moving to fast.
We have created the hurried child syndrome which is now being displayed in their behaviour due to low emotional intelligence.
Young individuals are in the same place but processes are accelerating past them.
So What I have seen over the years.
1. Families have become more complex.
2. The Law does not protect under 18.
3. Social media.
4. Reduction in physical activity.
5. Increase in pressure in education and in sport.
6. Poor nutrition.
7. Lack of knowledge of youth development.
Why at UTHF**T we look at the seven strands of total fitness and one YOUth.
We put U back into YOU and YOU back into YOUTH...
