How many times have you sat your child down to practice his or her times' tables? Or asked them to write out a few pages of text because they are so good at it? These kinds of activities can be difficult on children's brains if they are done too much, especially after school where their brains need time to recharge. If kids are made to think too much before bedtime it can make it harder for them to fall asleep. However, there are plenty of other things that kids can do instead of arithmetic problems or writing. A brain break, on the other hand, is a great brain exercise. The mental and physical activity involved helps kids feel tired and relaxed at the end of it, rather than frustrated or anxious. As well as helping children to relax and recharge, brain breaks can help them … [Read more...]
