Chair power!
As many of you may remember, virtual learning had put a strain on many of us. Especially when our children were expected to sit in a chair and do classroom work all day. Kids may get antsy or even get up from their chair. These are all signs that it’s time to take a break and move! That’s why I am sharing movement breaks that can be done right from your chair. They’re simple, easy, and fun!
Not only will this movement allow your child to re-energize and give them a break but it also assists with improving posture. Try them out and let me know what you think!

Tips:
-Set a timer every 15-20 minutes for a movement break
-Join your child in the break - Adults need movement too :)
-Model movements for your child or provide hand over hand instruction if needed
-Depending on if the child needs calming/alerting play some music to make it fun
Calming Needed - dim lighting and play peaceful/soft/nature sounds
Alerting Needed - bright lighting and play quick/fast/up beat songs
