Sometimes children just need to run, jump, climb and play to accommodate their every growing body and mind. Do you find your child irritable, whiny, lethargic, socially withdrawn, overly hyper or having trouble focusing for long periods of time?
Try making a regular play times in the great outdoors. Being in wide opening spaces will allow your child to release energy and explore nature’s endless possibilities!
Here are some creative ways to explore the outdoors:
- Get off of the cement! Get dirty, get the earth in your hands and on your bare feet!
- Let your baby sit in the garden with you as you weed and pick veggies. As baby is older, let them help you in digging small holes, and in planting seeds.
- When the world is so vast, the sky so open, just a walk around the block can go on FOREVER for a toddler. Babies can walk 5 blocks, they can walk much further than many parents/caregivers think.
- Take your little one to a BUGGY BEAT workout and involve them in the exercises.
