An effective approach to beginning the day’s activities is to awaken children early to give them their medication and then to allow them to sleep for an hour. On arising, children take a hot bath (or shower) and perform a simple ritual of limbering up exercise, after which they commence the activities of the day, such as going to school. Exercise, heat, and rest are spaced throughout the remainder of the day according to the day to the child’s individual needs and schedules. Parents are instructed in exercises that meet the child’s needs.
