Rosanna Perrone, Maria Virginia Marchesano, Matteo Abate, Carmen Palumbo

Abstract


Close contact with touch devices, on the one hand, promotes smart interaction with the virtual world, on the other, risks contracting the vitality of the body. This study represents a preliminary phase of an exploratory investigation, conducted with a sample of 60 children aged 10 and 11 years and investigates the relationship between lifestyle, manual writing ability and perception of self-esteem in relation to bodily experience, suggesting the need to protect and promote rich and significant motor experiences.

Keywords


Motor activity; handwriting; bodily perception; Screen generation.
