A child uses all of their senses while outside instead of only their eyes watching a screen. They smell the air, feel the grass, taste the rain, see the sky, and hear the wind blowing.
- Encourages their Creativity
Children barely have to raise a fingernail to find all the fun they could ever want on screens. They will have to provide their entertainment if they venture outside. They must actively use their imaginations in this play activity, which demands effort. Gardening is essential for students to enhance their skills and understand their responsibilities.
To come up with games and activities they can do outside, they must deliberately think. Tag, hide-and-seek, and other physical activities like grounders exercise the body and the mind. Kids only need to hit play and idly watch as virtual apps and videos handle all the work. They have to think of methods to have fun outside.
- Nature Fosters Resilience
When children are outside, they face particular difficulties: there won’t be a bathroom nearby, there won’t be any snacks nearby, and it can be too cold or hot. They may experience minor discomfort from a bump or scratch.
These difficulties will help children become stronger and more equipped to deal with whatever hardship they may face. It enables people to see past temporary satisfaction and persevere in search of a bigger reward.
Conclusion
Children feel like they belong and have a sense of home when their emotional connection to nature is fostered. It can be at a local park or a wetland reserve, which fosters their love and respect for the environment.
