Movement and neuronal development

A struggle occurs in the brain for dominance between neurons; new connections are created between the active neurons as well as new command paths. The development of important centers in the brain is encouraged and the whole network of new routes is formed. Inactive neurons and pathways get lost. It is in this situation of neural stimulation that lays the answer to the question of whether a child will reach his biological potential or not.

Of course, we have to stimulate interaction between children in kindergartens, in schools, foster learning through play as well as learning using new technologies, but there is also one thing that parents have completely forgotten: simple games for children, as was customary 10-20 years ago: running, jumping, tugging, climbing, … This is of paramount importance because one of the basic characteristics of the human being is to walk on two feet. Walking has developed through evolution. Thus all parts of the brain are coordinated, connected and work in a synchronized manner. If a child spends a lot of time in a lying or sitting position, it is less stimulating certain areas of its cerebral cortex. This is how conditions are created for later cognitive failure.
