Hello Reader,

Did you know that movement helps kids focus, regulate emotions, and retain information? It’s true—gross motor skills like running, climbing, and jumping aren’t just “play”—they’re essential for brain development and school success.

For some children, sitting still isn’t just hard—it actually makes learning harder. Movement can help kids return to their optimal arousal or “window of tolerance”—that calm, focused state where learning happens best.

Some signs your child may benefit from more movement-based support include:

• ⚡ Difficulty sitting upright or fidgeting in class
• ⚡ Struggles with coordination, balance, or posture
• ⚡ Frequent fatigue or low endurance for physical activities

Adding structured movement breaks, core-strengthening activities, and active learning strategies can make a huge difference.
