Carolyn pointed out an interesting article today.

It said that today's children are spending dramatically less time in unstructured outdoor play than past generations. When children get to interact with nature they enjoy formative experiences that challenge their minds, bodies and spririts and help all three grow. It further went on to say that the many benefits of outdoor play and nature activities include: improved thinking skills and creativity; better motor skills and physical fitness; and less psychological stress.

When kids "unplug" and go outside it's a different level of interation and experience than they get anywhere else.

Very interesting article!
