So you’ve decided that online education is the best route for your family – great! We are glad you are here! Virtual education allows your child to work at a pace that is comfortable for them, some flexibility in your schedule, maybe a little traveling, or just a better alternative to your local school. Now that you’ve gotten used to being online daily, working through curriculum, and attending virtual classes, are you finding that you or your child spend a lot of the day just sitting?
Sitting down, especially at a computer, for long periods of time can have some negative effects on the body and even the mind! Neck and back pain, poor posture, digestion issues, and even slower brain function are just a few side affects you may experience from sitting all day. Yikes! But don’t worry, there are some easy and fun ways to incorporate movement into your family’s very busy day so you can avoid those long lasting effects.
There you have it! And when you’re thinking of putting off that few minutes of movement just remind yourself of this: 150 minutes of physical per week can reduce stress and anxiety, improve sleep, mood, memory, and even learning! That’s 30 minutes five days per week – you and your child’s spine, heart, tummy, and brain will appreciate it!
