Keeping Fit--In Body and Mind!
Rivkin, Mary S.
Early Childhood Today (J3), v21 n5 p28-37 Mar 2007
This article describes how a school can model a "healthy lifestyle" through focusing on four areas: (1) deliberate stress reduction; (2) abundant exercise; (3) good food in school; and (4) communication with parents to share and extend their plans and activities. It discusses each of these areas and develops some strategies for promoting body/mind fitness for the children in the program. It presents some ways to introduce opportunities for relaxation, stress reduction, and physical fitness in classroom learning centers.
