Exercise

 

There's absolutely no doubt that kids need exercise, and that most kids aren't getting enough. Less than one-third of kids aged 6 to 17 get at least 20 minutes of daily exercise in one form or another. This is tragic, considering the multitude of short- and long-term health benefits your child can gain from a regular exercise regimen, including:  reduced risk of diabetes and pre diabetes, improved immune system function, improved sleep and mood, stronger bones, weight loss,  reduced restlessness or hyperactivity; helps decrease symptoms of ADHD,  increased energy levels.  

There is a strong belief that regular participation in physical activity is linked to enhancement of brain function and cognition, thereby positively influencing academic performance.The increasing pressures to improve academic scores often lead to additional instructional time for subjects such as mathematics and language at the cost of time for being physically active. 

Allow your child to choose activities that appeal to them, and which are age appropriate. Remember that the trick to getting kids interested in exercise at a young age is to keep it fun (CFNA Kids=Big Fun).  A recent study also revealed that regular exercise not only improved blood flow to the brain, but also helped monkeys learn new tasks twice as quickly as non-exercising monkeys.  Our kids classes usually resemble a bunch of monkeys running around so this probably holds true for kids as well! :)
