Budgeting 101

Now a days, peeling a device away from a child to get them to spend time outdoors almost feels like the equivalent of putting them on punishment. I don’t know if you all will agree but I most certainly experienced that within my own family and decided to do something about it! We vowed to spend at least an hour outdoors EVERYDAY!! This past weekend I put together a nature scavenger hunt and the kids loved it!! They even found a feather left behind by the family of geese that “lives” with us 🥰. Nature provides many lifelong benefits across physical health, mental health and academic competency. A healthy exposure to Vitamin D promotes bone health and helps minimize issues related to diabetes and heart disease. Even playing with dirt has shown to reduce anxiety and stress levels in children.

Introducing different natural environments to children can help them think beyond their immediate surroundings and build well-rounded perspectives. Nature-based learning and education improves a child’s academic performance and critical thinking.
