Why brain exercises for children?
Because through the physical and mental strategies offered by this practice you will be benefiting them enormously, encouraging the use of both of their cerebral hemispheres.
When your child or student has difficulty learning something specific, try to help him with some movement that allows him to remember it, an action, a gesture with his face, something that includes his body, and you will see how you will get positive results!
The great potential of the child's mind can be exploited through his body, with the movements that he performs, since these activate the elasticity of his neurons and help him to a better mind-body performance, allowing him to improve his capacities completely.
The brain of children is like an absorbent sponge, so if we apply these techniques to exercise the brains of our children from the beginning, their mental development, creativity, performance, ability and skills can be much better.
Cerebral gymnastics exercises for children:
Balance movements

The owl:
Ask him to put a hand on the shoulder on the opposite side by squeezing it firmly and to move his head on that side.
