Did you know that it is
International Take A Child Outside Week
(September 24- September 30 2007)?
Taking a child outside promotes concentration and relaxation, connects them to their natural environment, and reduces their chances of obesity.
Go for a walk. Have them look up into the sky and ask them, "What do they see?".
Have them pick up a stick or pick up a handful of leaves.
Let them get dirty.
The dirt will wash away but their memories of being outside will always stay with them.
Not to mention, it is good for us parents too.
