Many of our homes are so comfortable, with so much ‘easy’ entertainment available, we have trouble putting our finger on why we are ‘low energy’ or ‘feeling a little down’. Then we go outside and we feel fresh air! We feel sun! We look at cloud formations! We people watch! Our bodies move!

Also, please note that children who are not very young actually can go outside by themselves. This is a great opportunity for them to feel a little freedom (and that is part of the joy of the experience).

Outside time can open up a whole new world of learning that can be incredibly powerful for children.
