In the world of traffic and pollution, help open your children's eyes to the wonders of nature.
While parents are desperate to get their children away from screens, experts are encouraging parents to see past the playground, with its queue by the swings and fights for whose turn it is to slide. Instead, they are promoting the lifelong benefits of;playing in nature.
Spending time in nature is essential for cognitive development. Nature play stimulates creativity and problem solving skills integral to executive function development.
Children who play and spend time in nature have increased concentration and cognitive skills, including mitigation of ADHD/ADD symptoms.
children playing in the playground, instead of in nature, miss out on creative, imaginative play that is open-ended and unstructured.
“Nature play is when children are provided with the opportunity to engage in unstructured play activities in outdoor settings where natural elements feature, such as logs, rocks and water, as opposed to conventional manufactured play equipment.
As for families, it is about encouraging and planning family time in more natural outdoor spaces.
It’s about getting your child off the device and hitting that sweet spot of boredom where a child will eventually find something to do.
