Research shows that high-quality school recess contributes significantly to children’s executive functioning (focusing, making plans, and solving problems efficiently), self-control, positive classroom behavior, and resilience. Children who have more time to play at recess are better able to overcome adversity, recover from mistakes, and cope with change.

Sensory dysregulation refers to a mind or body state which occurs when the body is out of balance due to experiences in the sensory environment. Think about how sounds, textures, exercise, movement, smells, light, and other input can affect your mood. Sensory dysregulation is the result of either too much or too little stimulation for best functioning or self-regulation.

It’s more than sensory touch and the input we receive through our skin. It’s the inability to regulate sensory input from ALL the sensory systems.

A key component outcome of sensory dysregulation is self-regulation. There are many ways to define self-regulation, but generally, it is one’s ability to remain at an acceptable level of emotion, energy, behavior, and attention – given the demands of their environment.

In order to achieve self-regulation, one must also have good sensory regulation.

Sensory dysregulation is something that anyone can experience, and most people probably have experienced a level of sensory dysregulation to some degree.

What we are finding now is that because so many children are being less active and not getting the playtime they normally would have in kindergarten and first grade 20 years ago, their academics are suffering. Our goal may have been to compete with our international counterparts, but our kids are now falling backward instead of moving forward. And we are not the only ones out there who agree that more playtime is key to learning in the classroom."

All of these factors have a negative impact on your child.

The cons of online schooling can be debated for days on end. Before you consider online schooling, do proper research on the disadvantages it has on your child.
