Behavioral

Question: Can this help with classroom behavior?

• Children will always move! Creative movement gives children the opportunity for movement that relieves tension, which would otherwise be expressed as "wiggling." Also, children become more capable of determining what kind of movement is appropriate for different situations. [DLTK article]

Question: How can movement enhance self esteem?

• Self-esteem is also a benefit from incorporating movement into any curriculum. Getting oxygen flowing to the brain will help students think better and understand better increasing their academics. As children learn more and develop new skills, their self-esteem increases. A child's self-esteem is enhanced through participation in activities where their contributions are valued resulting in higher self-esteem.
