Spring is here. The evenings are getting brighter, the weather's warmer and you're ready to get back out into the fresh air. Here's 5 benefits to getting outdoors with your family...
1. More Family Time
If you’re working from home with littl’uns around, it’s important to find time together to explore outdoors, even just for an hour. It will refresh your littl’uns and give busy working parents a reason to take a break. Don't forget to share your pics with us using #MyCosatto
2. It’s in your Nature
Reconnecting and having regular exposure to nature has a well-known positive effect on mental health, especially in kids. It’s linked to reduced ADHD symptoms, more creative thinking and even better behaviour.
3. Performance Enhancing
Spending time outdoors each day improves concentration. The great outdoors helps us focus in the great indoors. A morning walk will set you up for an afternoon of working from home.
4. Vision Boosting
According to Business Insider’s ‘11 science-backed reasons to go outdoors’, being in nature has a protective effect on the eyes, reducing the risk of nearsightedness developing in kids.
5. Happiness Boosting
Scandinavian countries are the happiest in the world, with Norway being the 5th happiest country so let’s be more Scandinavian. There is much evidence for walks in nature having a greater impact on happiness than walks in urban areas.
