Previous research reported the effectiveness of a curriculum-based self-care intervention for students administered in the context of a course on behavior change. This study published in the July/August issue of the American Journal of Health Education evaluated the effectiveness of the self-care intervention for learners in a publicly available massive open online course (MOOC), who completed the course during the COVID-19 pandemic.

U.S. News & World Report

Children's mental health and well-being are tied to their achievement in school. For elementary and middle school students, the classroom can be an overwhelming environment that may cause social pressure and performance anxiety. Parents and other caregivers, not just educators, can support students' learning by fostering nurturing environments where children can grow their confidence and self-esteem in academics.

 

Medical Xpress

A new national study finds that children in the United States with greater screen time usage at ages 9-10 are more likely to gain weight one year later. The study, publishing in Pediatric Obesity, found that each additional hour spent on virtually all forms of screen time was associated with a higher body mass index (BMI) one year later.

 

UPI

Enhanced physical education classes in school boost children's brainpower and academic performance, particularly in math, according to an analysis published Tuesday. Students at schools in which physical education classes were taught by dedicated teachers and included intellectually challenging activities had evidence of improved cognitive and academic performance based on standardized test scores and grades, among other measures.

 

USA Today

After more than a year of isolation, widespread financial insecurity and the loss of an unprecedented amount of classroom time, experts say many of the youngest Americans have fallen behind socially, academically and emotionally in ways that could harm their physical and mental health for years or even decades.
