Check for parks close to you. Other options include school playgrounds or even your own backyard.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Take advantage of the power of playing in nature\u2014near your home or neighborhood, or wherever you feel comfortable,&#8221; Seattle pediatrician Dr. Pooja Tandon said. &#8220;Remember to dress <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ropriately for the weather. It&#8217;s also a good idea to wash hands or use hand sanitizer during and after your adventure.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> More outdoor time for children is associated with improved motor development and lower <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/obesity\/childhood\/index.html\">obesity rates<\/a> and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.healthychildren.org\/English\/health-issues\/conditions\/eyes\/Pages\/Myopia-Nearsightedness.aspx\">nearsightedness<\/a> risk, according to the AAP. And safely getting some sun also helps the body produce vitamin D that&#8217;s needed to stay healthy and strong.<\/p>\n<p> Playing outside promotes curiosity, creativity and critical thinking in children, and research shows that children who spend more time in nature exploration do better at learning.<\/p>\n<p> Another benefit is that children have less anger and aggression when they spend time in natural spaces, which can also improve their focus and reduce symptoms of <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/ncbddd\/adhd\/facts.html#:~:text=ADHD%20is%20one%20of%20the,)%2C%20or%20be%20overly%20active.\">attention-deficit\/hyperactivity disorder<\/a>, the pediatricians&#8217; group says.<\/p>\n<p> The earlier you introduce your baby to nature, the more likely they are to develop a lifelong love of the outdoors, according to the AAP. Put them in strollers or carriers to wander among trees or put them on a blanket and let them enjoy the breeze, bird song, plant textures and forest smells.<\/p>\n<p> With young children, go exploring and talk with them about what&#8217;s around you to help them learn new words and engage all their senses. <\/p>\n<p>But don&#8217;t feel you must walk miles to reap benefits: You can read to your child outdoors or make nature sculptures by sticking twigs, leaves, cones, rocks and other items into a play dough base. Or just let your child play in mud with old pots, pans, utensils and household tools to develop senses and motor skills.<\/p>\n<p> If you have older children and teens, bond over outdoor <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>s and activities, the experts suggest. Bring a soccer ball or frisbee, and pack a picnic to enjoy with family or friends.
