Keeping Kids Active During Cold Rainy Months

March 2, 2021March 2, 2021momonthegoinholytoledo

It never fails, the minute the temps finally rise after a brutal frigid winter the rain starts falling. Spring in the Midwest is like a mashup of the movies Groundhog Day and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, it’s gentle, then vicious, and it just repeats like that until summer. Well, to be fair, we do usually receive a solid 24 beautiful hours of spring at some point, but don’t blink because you will miss it. The fact that the weather is more unpredictable in the spring months is really discouraging for us parents who are trying so hard to make certain that children are receiving the recommended amount of physical activity each day. Especially this school year, with most children sitting in front of computer screens, not receiving physical education weekly, or even recess.

If you’ve ever raised a toddler then you’ve had a glimpse into raising a teenager. Sure they can be impulsive at times, throw tantrums on occasion, but what toddlers and teenagers really have in common are their needs for structure, routine, schedules, and naps, lol! Thus, the worst thing you can do to either is disrupt their routine which is precisely what is going to occur this week. After 6 months of remote learning, getting into a consistent routine, with a firm grasp of their schedules, they are going to have everything basically turned upside down and are going to be starting all over on a hybrid schedule with less than 3 months left in the school year. That’s virtually like teaching a toddler how to use a spoon and once they’ve almost mastered it you take away the spoon and give them chopsticks. Will they figure it out? Sure. But at what cost? That’s the big question, will there be detrimental repercussions due to the change in not only their schedule, but also, in how they are taught/learning?
