dc.description.abstractThis capstone project aims to promote healthier, more active lifestyles among elementary-aged children by addressing the growing concerns around sedentary behaviour and screen time. The project focuses on increasing movement opportunities within and outside the school setting and explores how physical activity can be effectively integrated into elementary school counselling practices. In addition, the capstone seeks to educate students, families, school personnel, and counsellors about the physical, mental, and emotional implications of prolonged inactivity. This project aspires to lay the foundation for lifelong wellness and a sustained commitment to active living by encouraging children to discover and pursue physical activities they enjoy.
