Pediatrics group issues new guidance on recess for the first time in 13 years

  • By LAURA UNGAR AP Medical Writer

For the first time in more than a decade, a leading pediatricians group has put out new guidance about recess, saying it's crucial for good health and good grades and should be part of the school day for students of all ages. The updated policy statement by the American Academy of Pediatrics comes after years of shrinking breaks between lessons and worsening children's health. The group cites the latest research on why these breaks are essential for kids' academic success and mental, physical, social and emotional growth. The guidance was published Monday in the journal Pediatrics.
