Is it possible to free a child from morning exercises?
The morning gymnastics complex for the middle group is selected so that the exercises are suitable for everyone: the inactive children, who are activated after the gymnastics, and the hyperactive, on which the morning exercises have a calming effect. If the child will regularly exercise in the morning with his peers, then already at the weekend he will ask his parents to do gymnastics with him.
However, contraindications for gymnastics do exist. A child is exempted from morning exercises if:
- the baby's cardiovascular system works with abnormalities;
- impaired functioning of the musculoskeletal system;
- the child is characterized by general weakness.
If none of the above is observed in your child, you can safely do the morning gymnastics complex selected by your teacher . For the middle group, it is important to move more and sit less, so gymnastics and outdoor games are recommended to them without fail.
So, the benefits of morning exercises are obvious. Some educators believe that breathing exercises in the middle group should also be performed in the morning. However, this is not necessary, you can enter it into other activities.
