Document Summary

Chapter 3: self and social and moral development. Physical exercise and recess systematic exercise programs may actually enhance the development of specific types of mental processing important for meeting challenges encountered both in academics and throughout lifespan. Found that with 8-9 year old, students who had daily recess of 15 minutes or longer every day were better behaved in class than students with little or no recess. Recess breaks especially important for students with adhd in fact, if more breaks were provided, there might be fewer students, especially boys, diagnosed with adhd. Physical activity is of concern because of rise of childhood obesity. In some cultures, children are more likely to grow up in extended families, with grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins living in the same household or in daily contact with each other. Best advice is to avoid the phrases your parents and your mother and father and instead use your family when talking to students.
