Heart Rate Variability

Heart rate variability (HRV) serves as an indicator of how relaxed or stressed the body is, with greater variability signifying a more relaxed state. When stress levels rise, HRV decreases, reflecting the body's sympathetic nervous system's dominance. Understanding HRV can help parents create a conducive environment for their children to learn and relax, emphasizing the importance of transitioning to a parasympathetic state for better overall health and well-being.
