#655: A Different Kind of Time Out

Getting your young son to sit still for a church service, car ride, or class in school can be a challenge. But one school in Texas doesn’t have this problem. Why? Well, they’ve tripled recess time. During the school day, the kindergartners and first graders at this school get four, 15 minute recess breaks outside each day. The  teachers say the kids are more attentive than ever, and many have even decreased symptoms of ADHD. So if your son seems grumpy and uncooperative today, why don’t you try a different kind of “time out”? Take a jog with him, ride a bike, or find interesting leaves and flowers. Time outSIDE, letting your boy be a boy, can turn his whole day around. To learn about raising boys to be godly men, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.
