In the 1970s, it was children who spearheaded the movement to get their moms and dads to wear seat belts, a movement that has since become law in all 50 states and saved countless lives. Fifty years later, children remain powerful influencers within their families, however today children are spearheading a movement to become “Naturally Well.”
