We have all had a version of that evening. The homework is spread across the kitchen table, the tutor is booked, the revision timetable is colour coded and stuck to the fridge, and still something is not quite working. The child in front of us is tired, flat, a little switched off.

Amr Fahmi thinks we may be looking in the wrong place.

Amr is the founder of The Educated Coach, and in this episode he makes a case that is easy to forget in a region where so much of childhood happens indoors, in the car, or in front of a screen. Children need to move. Not as a reward for finishing their work. Not as the first thing to be cut when exams get close. Movement is one of the conditions that makes the learning possible in the first place.

We talk about:

• Why a child who moves regularly sleeps better, settles faster and holds their focus for longer
• What happens to a child's confidence and mood when movement disappears from their week
• The moment so many families face, when sport is dropped to "make room" for study, and what that decision really costs
• How to build movement into family life in the heat, in apartment living, and around a packed school timetable
• Why this matters just as much for the quiet child, the anxious child and the child who says they hate PE
• What Amr wishes every parent understood before the pressure years arrive

This one is for every parent who has stood at the door with car keys in hand, wondering whether to push their child out to training or let them stay at the desk a little longer.
