Chidren And Exercise
A lot of people wonder how their children can get better grades in school. Some say that it is because they spend more time studying at home and others say that it is because exercise boosts brain power. The truth is, both are factors in the success of a child's education.
Exercising increases blood flow which helps with learning and studying and improves self-discipline which the kids need to succeed in school. Children who study with parents often show a greater interest and skill level than those without parental involvement.
Exercise is not only good for the body. Studies show that the amount of time spent exercising can improve a child's learning ability. The child's brain becomes better at learning and memorizing material when they exercise regularly. Plus exercising clears the mind which will help them focus in on what they are trying to learn.
Studies also show that exercise is a good stress reducer and can help with depression and ADHD as well as controlling weight.[1] Exercise doesn't just help with mental problems, it also helps with physical issues like asthma, rheumatism and diabetes.
So parents, if you want to help your child get a better education, encourage them to exercise as much as possible. Find a sport your child likes and sign them up or take them to the park for a game of catch. Let your children know that exercise is important to their brain and body development.
Exercise also helps reduce stress, bad eating habits and weight gain so when you sign your child up for sports or take them outdoors for some fun in nature, they will be getting more than just good grades in school.[2]
Exercise is essential for the health of teens and adults but it also plays a vital role in the healthy development of children.
Parents, make sure your children get enough exercise. The more exercise they do, the stronger their muscles will become and the better their ability to concentrate will be. After all, if you can't concentrate when you are exercising, what will happen when you have a test on your mind?
So home schoolers and sporty moms out there, get your kids out there and exercising as often as possible! You'll all benefit from it.

Conclusion
As you can see, children are hard-wired to be active. They need to move throughout the day, so they're bound to stay energetic throughout their lives. If your kids are the kind who just can't sit still for a meal, find an activity that they enjoy and make it into a family mealtime tradition.
Children who stay active all day are more likely to have an even better outlook on life and maintain general good health. It's never too early or too late to encourage your children to exercise!
There's right way and a wrong way to get your kids moving throughout the day.
