In addition, it helps to circulate oxygen and nutrients to the brain and stimulates the production of hormones that combat stress and depression.

Just as you guide your children to create healthy habits for nutrition and cleanliness while they are young, guide them also to make physical movement part of their healthy lifestyle. As you may know from your own personal experience, it can be difficult to establish a habit of regular exercise in adulthood.

If your child gains this habit now, it will be very firmly established in the actual circuitry of the brain, and he or she will naturally crave physical movement of all types, rather than avoid it as an unappealing chore.

The first section consists of a collection of basic stretching exercises for kids.

These yoga-like movements are designed to open up the body’s joints, to stretch and strengthen the muscular system, and to promote relaxation. Exercises of this type are wellsuited to brain development because they require the child to use a wide variety of muscles in unique combinations.

Any kind of exercise is good, but these are especially effective for creating a balanced and strong bodily structure while at the same time strengthening unity of the mind and body. And kids will become more aware of their own body as they gain flexibility and coordination. If you would like to adapt them to make them fun and appealing to your child, feel free to do so. The important thing is to move!
