Education
“Every child should have time for arts, music, sports,
drama, robotics, school newspapers and the like, not to mention recess and
play.” - Chris Gabrieli (An American Education Policy and Innovation Leader)
According to CDC
Healthy Schools recess promotes healthy behaviors.
- Recess benefits students by:
- Increasing their level of physical activity.
- Improving their memory, attention, and concentration.
- Helping them stay on-task in the classroom.
- Reducing disruptive behavior in the classroom.
- Improving their social and emotional development (e.g., learning how to share and negotiate).
Studies show that recess has a positive impact on focus, attention, and mood for a child. Similarly, adults report increased mental clarity and a better disposition after a brisk walk or a trip to the gym. In addition, adults and children alike learn better when they take frequent breaks rather than concentrating for long stretches.
Breaks and work performance: two sides of the same coin. You will find that you are more productive when you incorporate more breaks in your day. Read More via Better Up
