Encourage your children to participate in physical activities outside of school. Physical activity has other benefits as well. With a planned sequence of physical activity, students report to be less depressed and moody. It also helps children with developmental problems like increasing the completion rate of written tasks and reducing the degree of off task behavior. The Louisiana Governor's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports believes that every student in our nation's schools, from kindergarten through grade 12, should be required to participate in daily, quality physical education.
Physical education is an integral and essential component of the education of American youth.
