Kids these days know 'Discovery' channel better than the parks, zoos and natural habitats closer to home.They have seen the open fields, the running water, butterflies, blooming buds, but just on their LED screens. As such, it is important to imbibe in the kids an appreciation of
nature and of the myriad treasures it can provide.
Considering the need of the hour, Gini & Jony, one of India's largest young-adult fashion-wear brands, has taken it upon itself to not just influence how young-adults look but also how they live! Their motto is to ensure kids leave the wired life behind and become outdoorsy and more environmentally conscious.If a kids' fashion brand can take such a stance, shouldn't parents too?...
Here are a few benefits of giving your child the much needed outdoor time:
1. Boosts Immunity
Engaging in outdoor activities makes their
immune system stronger, improves their fitness levels and helps them develop healthy bodies.
It also helps control obesity, diseases of the heart, and diabetes among kids.
2. Keeps Kids Happier
Nature has always been a great source of inspiration and joy for kids and adults alike. Breathing in the fresh air and playing in the lush greens triggers happiness and enhances kids' creativity too.
3. Improves Social Skills
By being outdoors children meet other children of their age and interact and play with them, building friendships. It infuses in them a sense of healthy competition and sportsmanship.
4. Improves Overall Wellbeing
Television, laptops, tablets are all harmful for the children in the long run. Studies show that kids who spend too much time on their gadgets and gizmos develop attention disorders and other mental or physical difficulties. If they find a healthy alternative through outdoor activities they may not desire their gadgets as much.
5. Develops Love for Nature
If you get your young ones to interact with nature, they may actually appreciate it more. They will come to love the meadows, mountains, rivers, birds and animals alike. Who knows, they may become the ones who protect and conserve it, and work towards reducing our carbon footprints in the future.
