To bare it all?

Barefoot is best! I was reminded recently. When we learn we need to involve as many of our senses as possible. It is how, after all, how God intended us to be. I have been fortunate enough to work in a school environment where children are allowed to remove their shoes as they wish. This allowed for a much more relaxed and therefore learning effective environment. When we move our feet we are lengthening the nerves running from the tips of our toes to our head. Children are able to concentrate better by stretching these nerves, therefore, encourage your child to walk on their heels to their tip toes and back again as often as possible to give their brains a good workout. We are also able to take in more about the space we find ourselves in and be introduced to textures underfoot we may have missed out on. Shoes were designed to be worn when necessary and not as a permanent feature. Take the "bricks" off your child's feet and bare it all!
