“It’s important to remember that some schools might not have a jungle gym or many age-appropriate resources for kids to play with. The great thing about the picture books is they provide simple, engaging exercises that can be done in a wide variety of settings, like a school playground, backyard, or even an empty field at a park. It is also a quick and easy way for caregivers or teachers to provide organized structure during flexible free time, such as during recess”, says, Becerra.
Present-day youths are increasingly spending more of their time sitting in front of televisions, tablets, and personal electronic devices due to the advancements in technology and entertainment.
Hence the author is passionate to remind the youth especially individuals with autism spectrum, about the importance of scheduling time for physical activity. Prioritizing physical exercise as part of life at an early age may also help dwell the habit in later adolescent years.
