“May your child have days with a stone in their pocket, grass between their toes, and dirt caked to their feet."
- Penny Whitehouse
Today's kids have adopted sedentary lifestyles filled with television, video games, computer screens, and phones. Studies show that children need outdoor play in order to develop their sensory, motor, and executive functions. A lack of movement has been shown to lead to a number of health and cognitive difficulties, such as ADHD, emotion regulation, and sensory processing issues, aggressive and/or anti-social behaviors. So, how can you ensure your child is fully engaging their body, mind, and all of their senses?
NATURE is the ultimate sensory experience! A child’s psychological and physical health vastly improves when they spend time outside on a regular basis. 🌿
