Description
We live in a world that revolves around technology. Even the lives of our children are getting consumed with technology at an even younger age now. Little kids are constantly playing on their parents phones, homework is needing to be completed online, kids are getting sucked into social media and video games. With all this technology, children are going outside less and less. The downside to this is children are not getting the opportunity to be nourished by the environment. By using the app ThrivGuide, it provides a place for parents, legal guardians and nannies to find easy, fun, affordable, and daily activities for their children to do outside their home. This allows their children to take a break from screens and being indoors and be able to improve their creativity, happiness, brain development, physical health, and academic success. Ensuring positive growth and healthier living in their children.
