This is a really interesting article. Research shows that children who spend time out in nature earlier in their lives are more motivated to get out into nature as adults. This is important for parents to know because it’s never too late to expose your kids to hiking, camping, and exploring nature.  Ros explores 5 reasons that children need to be out in nature at an early age. One thing I really like about this article is that she links to some supporting research studies.

• The physical benefits of being out in nature
• ow exploring nature at an early age impacts attitudes toward the environment
