Movement is medicine for boys.
It’s not just “burning off energy” — it’s how their bodies and brains regulate.
When boys move, they…
🧠 Reset their brains for focus and learning
💪 Release stress and lower cortisol (the stress hormone)
❤️ Express emotions their words can’t always capture
⚡ Calm their nervous system when it feels restless or overstimulated
🤝 Build connection through play and roughhousing
So the next time your boy is bouncing off the walls, remember: he’s not being “too much.” He’s showing you what his body needs!
S/O to hankandboys for this reminder ALWAYS! Go follow her.
