The Last Word...
The Brain Rules workshop last week was fascinating!
Brain Rule #1: Exercise (linked here)
We only have to do aerobic exercise two times per week to see the benefits in the brain - better reasoning, more efficient productivity, more patience under stress, happier disposition - just to name a few. Got ideas for how we can get our kids movin' more during the day?
