愈動學得愈好
「你還因為孩子不願意好好坐著唸書而引發家庭戰爭嗎？」，如果孩子真的喜歡動來動去、停不下來，那就讓他繼續動吧！根據國外最新研究，澳洲雪梨大學針對小學四年級學童進行比較調查，發現邊動邊學的孩子，相較傳統課堂學習效果更佳。
雪梨大學先將學童分成兩大類，一類孩子同時進行來回跑運動及學習九九乘法表，另一類孩子維持傳統課堂數學教學，研究結果發現，孩子喜歡邊動邊學，且運動會提升大腦功效，身體越健康的孩子，其注意力越集中，決策能力更快更強，雖然傳統課堂學習也可以有所進步，但效果較差，且邊動邊學可以同時兼顧健康及成績，一舉兩得。
此外，美國伊利諾大學也進行八、九歲學童研究，透過兩百二十個學生樣本，發現有固定課後運動的孩子，其數學、閱讀等各項學科表現都比一般孩子更突出，因為身體健康的孩子無論在執行力及結構性思考能力上，都比一般孩子更好，這有助於提升學習效果，精準回答學業問題，避免發生錯誤。

傳統要求孩子乖乖坐定閱讀、寫作業的型態已經落伍了，建議家長平時多讓孩子進行戶外運動，不僅可以讓身體更健康，還能提升學習功效，達到兩者雙贏。
