Many of us growing up can remember spending three hours or more a day outside. Due to today’s media and game devices, safety fears, and shrinking resources, today’s children spend an average of 6.5 hours a day with television, computers, and games!
Nature stimulates children’s imagination and creativity. Playing outside enhances cognitive functions, self-discipline, problem solving abilities, and provides a natural stress release. It has been documented that nature breaks improve test scores dramatically and increase coping skills among depressed or troubled teens.
If you can’t get your child outside among nature as often as you’d like, try bringing nature to them with our DVD. You’ll be surprised at the positive and therapeutic effects . By simply observing nature, individuals cultivate a positive attitude, renewed attention, mindfulness, and sensory awareness.
Let us know how it helps your children! We’d love for you to comment on our Facebook page or over Twitter!
