• Positive Stress is
– Is brief, infrequent, mild or moderate
– Is normal in everyday life
– Motivates, builds exploration and curiosity, and teaches the child to adjust
The child’s social and emotional supports help manage stress
and allow a return to normal

– Perceived by the child as overwhelming – Results in
• Anxiety • Anger • Emotional outbursts • Fear
Harmful if the child does not have enough social and emotional buffers

How Children Succeed by Paul Tough
• Why do some children succeed and some fail?
• Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) reflect toxic stress -- correlates with poor academic, behavioral, lifestyle and physical/mental health outcomes
• Social emotional skills can mitigate toxic stress

• Maternal behavior* – High L&G – Low L&G
• High = greater exploration, curiosity, socialization, healthier, less anxious, less aggressive
• Biochemical changes in brain

What’s the Scoop On Flavored Milk?
• Dietary Guidelines uses fat- free chocolate milk as example of nutrient dense beverage
• Only 15 % of milk consumed is flavored contributing only 3 % of the added sugar and 2 % of the calories in children’s diets on average
• Children who drink flavored milk have better nutrient and total milk intake and similar added sugar intake and body weight as non drinkers

School Lunch: Findings • 10 years: rapid improvements (SNDA I,II,III)
– Protein, vitamins A & B-12, riboflavin, calcium, phosphorus, potassium and zinc
– Choices for entrees, fruit, vegetables the norm – More than half of the milk was no- or low-fat
• New Standards meet Dietary Guidelines 2010: – Less saturated fat, sodium – More fresh fruit & vegetables, whole grains – Better balanced, fewer calories

Executive Function = Prefrontal Cortex
When Functional… • Make plans • Keep track of multiple
things • Discuss using past
knowledge • Evaluate ideas, reflect on
work • Make corrections • Engage in group dynamics • Control impulsivity
When Dysfunctional, struggles… • Planning projects • Time management • Verbal, written stories in a
sequential manner • Memorizing and retrieving
key information • Initiating tasks or generating
ideas independently • Retaining information while
using it (working memory)

A growing number of schools are cutting daily physical activity opportunities
to provide additional classroom time on formal academic topics.

Does Activity Time Hinder
Academic Achievement?
No. CDC reviewed 50 school studies: No decrease in academic achievement when time
is allotted for physical education/recess/sports, and in fact… Positive relationships between classroom physical
activity time and indicators of academic achievement, classroom behavior, and cognitive function
