The Full Round Development Of Child In School

According to a study conducted by Albert Einstein College of Medicine

,Yeshiva University, School children who receive more recess behave better and are likely to learn more. The study, suggests that a daily break of 15 minutes or more in the school day may play a role in improving learning, social development, and health in elementary school children. Children who misbehave at school are often punished by having to stay inside at recess.

But the research shows that giving children recess actually helps them solve behavioral problems in class. Recess plays a critical role in school as a necessary break from the rigors of academic challenges. Recess is a complement, not a replacement for, physical education. Both promote activity and a healthy lifestyle; however, recess--particularly unstructured recess and free play--provides a unique contribution to a child's creative, social, and emotional development. From the perspective of a childs health and well-being, recess time should be considered a child's personal time and should not be withheld for academic or punitive reasons.

The most obvious characteristic of recess is that it constitutes a break from the day's routine. For people of all ages and in all fields, breaks are considered essential for satisfaction and alertness. Experimental research on memory and attention found that recall is improved when learning is spaced rather than presented all at once. Their findings are compatible with what is known about brain functioning: that attention requires periodic novelty, that the brain needs downtime to recycle chemicals crucial for long-term memory formation, and that attention involves 90- to 110-minute cyclical patterns throughout the day.

We need to understand that children also need a break- probably more frequent ones. Our brains can concentrate and pay attention for 45 to 60 minutes, and in kids its even less. For them to be able to acquire all the academic skills we want them to learn, they need a break to go out and release the energy and play and be social. Schools need to recognize that recess is an essential part of a childs learning experience. At recess, students use all the things they learned in the classroom.

When they are doing hopscotch they use math skills. Kids learn a lot about social skills during recess, such as playing, sharing, being the leader, following somebody. Its all very important. Recess may be the only opportunity for some children to engage in social interactions with other children. Because recess is one of the few times in the school day when children can interact freely with peers, it is a valuable time in which adults can observe children's social and leadership skills and their tendency to bully and fight.
