Move Theory

I decided to give a name to my unique set of solutions for the complex problems facing our youth.  My approach in solving any problem has been to sit back, find the root of the problem (Theory) and then act (Move).  Hence, Move Theory!

Childhood inactivity is a more complex problem than most people realize.  It cannot be solved just by everyone just saying “Hey kids, get out and play!”  If that was going to work, it would have long ago.  Solving this takes a multifaceted approach based on a full understanding of the factors involved, which include all adults understanding the necessity of play, designing experiences that respect the unique needs and wants of the developing human, and making sure that young people have places to play.

So, what does Move Theory actually do?
