PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
My parents had the good sense to channel my energy and put me in dancing school, because I was driving them crazy.
Whatever our children’s energy levels, activities can be a terrific way for them to explore their talents, broaden their interests, develop discipline, and make friends. Also, confidence gained on the soccer team, karate class, or dance lessons can spill over into social and academic areas.
Our schools just can’t do it all, can’t plumb and channel the potential in every child.
On this day, I will take five minutes to consider whether my child is getting enough physical activity.
