In January 2024, Dr. Ranko Rajović held an interesting presentation at the Sava Center in Belgrade about how the lack of physical movement affects the development of younger generations.
Dr. Ranko Rajović is known to the public as the founder of Mensa Serbia and the NTC system of children's learning through play.
During his lecture at the Sava Center, Dr. Ranko Rajović emphasized the prominent problem of today, i.e. the weakened mental abilities of children due to their reduced motor skills. This phenomenon is conditioned by the increasingly intensive socializing of children with telephones and other products of modern technology and favoring the so-called sedentary lifestyle.
Rajović emphasized the importance of physical activity and explained how movement is key to healthy cognitive development. During his lecture on January 15, he called on parents and educators to encourage active play and exercises that support children's growth and well-being.
