In a study published in JAMA Network Open, researchers looked at more than 1,600 kids ages 5 to 18 who had suffered a concussion at one of nine pediatric emergency departments in Canada.
They found that kids who went back to school within 14 days of suffering a concussion had a lower symptom burden than did kids who went back to school between two and five days.

Researchers believe the early return to school could be due to socialization, avoiding isolation, and returning to a normal sleep/wake schedule, per the press release.
The study also found that kids who went back to school within 14 days of suffering a concussion were more likely to be involved in after-school activities than kids who went back to school between two and five days.
"This helps us feel reassured that returning to some normal activities
