Outdoor play is beneficial in so many ways - but making a change
can be difficult.
Perhaps this is you:
- Your child has lost interest in outdoor activities or was never interested in the first place
- Your days are simply too short and too hectic to spend any valuable time in nature
- You know outdoor play is beneficial, but making a change is overwhelming
- Your child would prefer to be on their screens and you're just not sure how to get them off respectfully
Over the past few generations, childhood has moved indoors. On average, today’s kids spend up to 44 hours per week in front of a screen, and less than 10 minutes
a day playing outdoors.
Children & Nature Network
Are you worried that too much time spent indoors is impacting your child?
Too much time spent indoors may:
- Develop disadvantages in the areas of language and thinking
- Cause sensory and motor developmental delays
- Raise your child's risk for attention problems, anxiety, and depression
- Make it hard for your child to sleep at night
- Encourage excessive screen time, which can lead to poor eyesight, lack of physical activity, and developmental “tunnel vision”
The good news is that you do not have to throw out all your screens, nor excessively change your lifestyle to give your child a nature-rich childhood!
It's time to add
a pinch of adventure,
a sprinkle of sunshine
and a big handful of outdoor play.

There's so much to gain from going outside!
Playing in nature:
- Gives kids the freedom to explore their likes, dislikes, limits, and surroundings
- Enhances both physical and psychological wellness
- Encourages kids to develop empathetic, compassionate mindsets toward all living things
Just to name a few.
“When children play in natural spaces, they’re far more likely to invent their own games than in more structured settings – a key factor in becoming self-directed and inventive adults later in life”
~Richard Louv
I’ve tried everything to get my kids outside. Everything!
The thing is, it’s not that you haven’t tried...
- You may have bought expensive play equipment hoping your kids would go outside more - but now they rarely touch it. Sigh
- Maybe the endless, exhausting tantrums have led you to give up. "Give me back my tablet! I was winning!"
- You’ve pinned activity ideas on Pinterest, but you have zero motivation to make those ideas a reality.
Don't worry - you're not alone.
You want your child to experience the benefits of outdoor play
...but you feel lost and overwhelmed!

You know that nature play benefits your child, you’re trying, but life is getting in the way. You’re not sure how to make it easier.
