Rest Time is Good for Kids

School can be a difficult thing for kids sometimes. Many of them get up very early in the morning to catch the bus. If they don't have uniforms, they have to find something to wear that won't put them in a negative category. They sometimes have to rush to eat, grab all of their assignments and homework, arrive at school, listen to their teachers lessons for the day, socialize with friends and hopefully understand the work that was given to them.
Don't get me wrong, I understand that this is just the way the world works and to be successful, you have to be a little tough.
However, hardworking good observant teachers are aware that sometimes during the day, kids just need to rest their brains. It's a good idea from time to time, to put on some nice soft rest time music and direct your students to take a deep breath and take a break.
By the way, as their teacher, you may enjoy it more than they will.
