Playtime Exercise Builds Body Mind Connections Through Movement

When the body and the mind blend in exercise is good happens for your children. It brings mental sharpness and blends motion with mental processing. Your child's still developing neural system by building more complexity in the wiring of the brain.

The body mind connection is a critical part of child development.

When children test ideas and shape thought patterns by their own exercise choices, the executive functioning of their brain is strengthened. Making decisions and improvisation breeds more neural circuitry and more learning.

Play has often been called the work of young children. It is through play children learn to move and move to learn. For children, movement is an easy way to communicate. But it is through that combination of 'jiggling' around, 'pressing' against a parent's body, tugging at sleeves, exploring body positions which is exercise: that a child displays simple non-verbal talking.

In those actions, the child is making choices [cognitive functioning] and using their bodies as a tool to communicate. Many fundamental skills are put to use in these actions. Their earlier play explorations and creative experiences become visible as thoughts are expressed through movements.

Try to look at their energy antics to gain vision and clues in the unraveling of the package of spirit, mind and body that is your KID! Do all you can to provide times and safe places to exercise body and mind. What a powerful mixture!

Watching your child learn through physically challenging activities and everyday activities, while gently steering their attempts and experiments allow togetherness through shared experiences.

Deliver maximum hugging, interacting and playing with your child as brain research proves those actions have a strong effect on developing many types of intelligences.

Keeping PLAY a child-centered activity is key to opening their potentials.
