The Benefits Of Getting Outdoors With Your Little One

Do you find walking your baby in the pram relaxing?

As you step out the door they go from agitated to enchanted with the vivid colors, perfume of blooming flowers, and cool breeze.

There is so much to see and o outdoors it is great for parent and baby… here is why:

1 | Jumpstarts language skills

Babies have more sensory information to take in and process outside than when they are in a controlled, indoor environment. That, in turn, promotes early language development!

2 | Improves physical development

Time outdoors helps facilitate the development of many skills even for babies, who benefit from observing others running around and playing.

3 | Lays a foundation for learning

Outdoor play prepares young ones to be future brainiacs!

4 | Helps create healthy sleep patterns

Regular bouts of time in the natural sunlight aid the establishment of good sleep patterns for little ones… win win!!

5 | Wards off illnesses

Children who spend more time outdoors are actually less likely to come down with illnesses — possibly because early exposure to the non-sterile outdoors boosts babies’ immune systems.

6 | It’s good for parents too

Taking exercise outdoors can improve self-esteem and negative mood subscales, such as tension, anger and depression.Plus its bonding time with baby!

So get outdoors with your baby to a Buggy Beat class and see for yourself!
