In this presentation, Dr. Wells presents scientific solutions to the challenges of sleeplessness, obesity, inactivity and mental illness. Using stories, research and simple tactics, Dr. Wells clearly outlines how to improve children’s health, supercharge their lives and help them to ultimately reach their full potential.
