Running :-  Running not only helps kids develop  healthy hearts, lungs , and coordination, but it can also  improve cognitive performance, mental health , and  academic performance  says  Candice Taylor Lucas , MD, an associate professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the  University of California Irvine (UCI) School of Medicine . Jumping:-  Jumping is another fundamental skill that builds on bouncing, which children typically are able to do by 18 months, Lucas says. Like running, jumping also helps develop balance and coordination while strengthening leg and core muscles. Skipping :-  Skipping is a more coordinated movement that builds upon running and jumping skills, Lucas says. Skipping also improves balance and coordination as well as timing and proprioception skills, or the ability to sense your body's position and movements.  Bear Crawls :-  Bear crawls are full-body movements that help increase strength and coordination, ...

  Homework is important.If you want to actually understand your homework, do it thoroughly, and get the best grade on it possible, you can't do it on the ride to school the morning of. When you get home that night, sit down and get it over with. Then you can go watch TV, play video games, and not worry about it the next morning.  If you have a long time to do a certain piece of homework, that means it's probably bigger than usual and important. Do a bit each day after you get it – that way the work is spread out and you don't feel swamped.

Do the reading the night before.  Most students seem to either not do the readings at all or sort of skim them during class while the teacher is talking about them. Don't be that student! Whether it seems important or not, always do the reading before class. In class you'll know exactly what's going on for when your teacher ends up calling your name. If you don't know what the reading was, look at your syllabus. There's a reason it should be in the front flap of your binder – it should have listed every piece of homework or reading and when it's going to be talked about. A quick look at that piece of paper and you'll know exactly what to do.

  Talk to your teachers about what they're looking for.  Start a conversation with your teachers about their class. What do they emphasize (participation, originality, reading, etc.)? What will make it easiest to succeed? Do they do extra credit? Do they do a lot of group work? Will there be a lot of writing in class? Knowing these things can help you understand what's expected of you.  This also establishes a relationship with your teacher from early on. You'll be the one who cares about their grade and is trying their best. When grading time rolls around and you're at an A- on the edge of an A, your teacher may give you the benefit of the doubt because you're a good student. 

  Make yourself a "study space. " You know how they say never to work in bed? That's because if you work in bed, it suddenly becomes a place for work and not for sleep – we associate activities with where we do them. To take advantage of this, make a place at home  just  for studying. When you get there, your mind will go into the studying zone automatically, because it's the only association it has with that place. Have you ever heard of context-dependent memory? That's when your memory finds it easier to recall things in the place where it learned them.So if you study there one night, studying there the next will make it easier to recall what you studied before! If you can, have more than one study space – the library, at a friend's house, etc. Research says that the more places you study, the more connections your brain has and the easier it is to remember the facts you study

  Organize all your school materials.  Whether it's two weeks before school or two weeks before school  ends , organize your materials. This means your folders, your binders, all your papers, and everything you need for every class. Being organized makes the actual work  so much easier.  Here are a few ideas: Buy binders for every class. On the inner flap, put the syllabus. Then start organizing your homework and the sheets your teacher gives you in chronological order, if possible. Keep specific materials you need (markers, scissors, etc.) organized by class. Every binder should have a pen and a highlighter, too. Throw some stuff out! If your locker looks like a paper hurricane just hit it, clean it out! The less stuff you have to sort through to get to what you want, the more time you save to do other, more important things.

  Writing always does not involve only handwriting but it can also lead to a genuine love for writing in kids. Some measures to motivate kids for this are: Reading – Children can be read to daily and motivated to express their feelings about those stories. Eventually they can also be asked to not only draw but write out something to express them as well. Good Pencils – Give the pencils which have a good grip and that would make it easier for them to hold on to it. That way they wouldn’t feel writing to be a hard task. There are many ways which impact different kids in various ways. Trying to find out the best motivator always helps.
