Let’s Get Lost was created to help people get outdoors, explore, connect deeper with their close ones, and for children’s growth and developmental stages in life we consider it to be an essential part of their upbringing, so have shared 7 top benefits to being outdoors for you to check out.
1. Mental Health
Lifting your mood and lowering anxiety are two ways being outdoors may be good for mental health. When in nature, people may experience a more positive mood and better cognitive function. Memory improves, as does the ability to focus. Some people also experience a boost in creativity.
2. Active
Being active has both physical and mental benefits. It improves your fitness, makes you stronger, and helps you manage health conditions and stay out of the hospital. Physical activity helps you take back control, be more independent, and can help you live well for longer
3. Social
Social interaction helps young children to start to develop their sense of self, and also start to learn what others expect from them. ... Putting them in preschool or child care helps your child naturally come out of that phase. Sharing, setting boundaries, and problem-solving all come from socializing and interacting.
4. Exploring
It helps children grow in important ways. First is the growth of intelligence. A toddler's interest in learning about the world encourages him to use his senses–tasting, touching, seeing, and smelling. His senses help him understand how things are different from each other and how they work.
5. Discovering The Local Area
Using the local environment enables children to develop a sense of belonging to the local community. Children learn best through first-hand experiences and going out into the local environment, or even further afield, enables children to explore and experience the different features found locally to them
6. Fresh Air
Getting outdoors on a regular basis can also improve your child's health and wellbeing as the fresh air cleans their lungs, ridding them of impurities such as car fumes and dust.
7. Family Time
Family time is an essential factor that helps to create strong bonds, love, connections, and relationship among the family members. Spending quality time with family does help in coping with challenges, instill a feeling of security, inculcate family values, fill kids with confidence, and much more.
