Exercises Make Learning Easier For Your Kids

Worried about Your Kids' Grades? Tired of the struggle with school and homework?

Now you can solve these problems with some simple physical exercises that help your kids get unstuck. Help them easily move forward to finish their work. To start something they've been procrastinating about--like the dreaded science project. To learn something they've been struggling with--maybe it's reading or long division or even playing a sport.

These exercises are used in more than 90 countries around the world by thousands of kids, their parents and teachers. Cecilia Koester and her colleagues at the Saticoy Elementary School in Ventura, California studied the effects of the exercises on reading. Third, fourth, and fifth graders who did them daily for several weeks improved their standardized test reading scores by nearly twice as much as those who didn't do the exercises.

The program is called Brain Gym. You can do it home just as hundreds of teachers from the U.S. to Australia, from Israel to South Africa are doing.

Brain Gym probably sounds too good to be true... but, bottom line, it works.

Brain Gym makes learning anything easier and quicker

* for your pre-schooler who doesn't seem very coordinated for her age.
* for that kindergartner who can't skip yet (Ask his teacher why this is important.)
* for your 4th grader who's still struggling with reading and now it's affecting all her classes.
* for your middle school child who simply never finishes his homework.
* for your high school student who's terrified of tests and wants to do well on her SAT.
* for your college student procrastinating on that term paper
* even for you whether you want to improve your golf game or write a report for your boss

Why does Brain Gym help?

Scientists have discovered over the past few years that your brain changes. They call it "plasticity." And the exciting news is that you have control over some of those changes. Maybe you've been reading about the importance of exercise to help your brain function more efficiently. That's an example of plasticity. Or perhaps you've known that doing crossword puzzles and brain teasers is also good for the brain. Another example of plasticity.

Thanks to brain plasticity, Brain Gym, which consists of 26 easy, fun physical exercises, also helps the brain learn more efficiently. For example, teachers know that students need to use both eyes for reading. Doing Brain Gym mid-line movements help.

So turn off the TV. Get your Smart Kids moving at home and in your classroom. Do Brain Gym. It's easy to learn in a workshop or even a teleclass. Sign up today at http://smartkidssmartparents.com/brain-gym/
