“Boys, time to take three laps around the house.”
My homeschool friend recognizes the need for her sons to get up and move several times a day. So, once an hour the kids go outside and run around for ten minutes.
Boys learn best when their entire body is involved in the process. That’s why they’re naturally restless and rambunctious. Their instinct is to keep moving. When their body is in motion, their brain is more engaged, which allows for a better learning environment.
The next time you want to help your son absorb some facts, combine the learning experience with an activity. They can recite memory verses while bouncing a basketball or listen to a book while shuffling a deck of cards. The information is more likely to stick.
