Nature & Mindset

Question: We know kids need outside time; but does nature benefit children's mental health?

Tip 1 - environment matters

  • Consider your space for work or learning

  • Note your time needs in nature or working, etc - aka how does the environment around you change or impact your mindset individually

  • Note the differing energies of different environments

Tip 2 - spark creativity in Creation

  • Kids as creatures of creativity

  • Nature's boundaries but also freedom

  • Nature teaches so we don't have to or teaches in a softer way at times

  • The value of options and even a bit of chaos

Tip 3 - try a forest walk with your kids or your inner child

Tip 4 - Research around concentration or mind functioning and the natural world

Concentration - better academics, Attention span,self control, executive function areas nurtured without evaluation (balm for busy brain = attention restoration theory)

Cooperation - stewardship mindset + relational and respect skills

Increased creativity - artistic and problem solving mindset

Growth mindset in challenges - resilient mindset

Mood booster + meaning booster
