Combining summer learning and fitness for kids
TUCKER, Ga. -- Summer can be crucial for keeping your kids sharp both mentally and physically.
The National Summer Learning Association has created a healthy summer campaign to encourage parents to take advantage of the summer to improve things for schools.
"When school doors close for the summer months, many children and families living in poverty face multiple, interrelated challenges. Learning loss, safety concerns, risk for obesity, and food insecurity all set children back developmentally and academically," according to the National Summer Learning Association.
There's a new workbook that can help parents in both those areas.
It's called "The Summer Fit: Exercises for the Brain and Body While Away From School."
