Might humans have evolved a unique type of Alphabet pheromone? Researchers in the UK found that visual words can influence the perception of smells1. When we alter body-associated movements, we alter pheromone output (invisible communicators). When we change our chemical output through remote, digitalized language vs active enactment, we ‘rechemicalize’ our human nature.
Through years of observing the spontaneous, active play behaviors of young children, we began to question if man-made alphabet tools may have influence the nature of human well-being. Is it possible that man’s communication tools inadvertently disrupted the natural integration of the human’s sensory-motor systems as they increasingly encoded nature’s pheromones into more scripted contexts? If we do not look more deeply into this dynamic, we may become increasingly challenged to raise children who are exposed to the sounds of language in the womb of a twittering or emoji-conversant Mom! Alphabet Fitness’ more active approach to alphabet education hopes to offer an option to the need for unraveling what could be considered ‘the increasingly isolating encryption of the alphabet species’.
