Brain Development Program Helps Kids with Focus and LearningIf you walk into the gym at St. Peter’s Lutheran School in Fort Wayne, you might see kids tossing small beanbags into the air while counting. Others are skipping, jumping or using a balance board. A few students follow beads on a rope with their eyes.What at first glance might appear to be gym class, is actually brain development exercises that are part of a program steeped in brain science called Minds-in-Motion. The activities, which are set up in stations so students can quickly rotate through them, are sometimes called “yoga for the brain,” and range from eye exercises that focus on a moving object to full body exercises that involve balance and coordination.
