1) Getting sunlight.
Exposure to sunlight, especially sunburn, increases the risk of skin cancer. But our body needs sunlight. We need vitamin D from sunlight. Vitamin D is an important nutrient for everything from bones to our body's immune system. Sunlight activates the stimulation systems in our body and induces sleep. It can make you feel energetic and fresh. Our bodies are at their best when we get sunlight every day.
2) Being active by playing outside.
Children should be active and playing outside for about an hour every day. One way to keep kids active is to get them outside to play. They can also exercise at home. But going out and kicking football, Exercises such as cycling make you more active. It is the best exercise for them.
3) Having already learned skills needed for life due to exercise.
By letting them go out and play outside, the children's ability to plan; Ability to set priorities; Ability to solve problems; Learning to adjust and multi-tasking at the same time increases the ability. Those skills are the foundation for a child's success in life. As you play, you will learn to entertain yourself and understand how to solve the problems you encounter while playing. Those skills will be learned and learned through actual play. Children need time to play alone. You also need to have time to play with other children. Playing outside can help children practice the above skills.
4) Facing difficulties.
Children need to face certain difficulties. Parents often worry about having to face such difficulties. They don't want the children to be in trouble because they want them to be safe. But if kids don't experience a little bit of trouble, they don't know how much they can do. Then they will no longer have confidence in themselves. That's why even if it's a small problem, let them solve it themselves. such as climbing on a plant, Let them do the little difficulties (the little difficulties that won't affect them too much) such as getting down from the tree. That way, if you encounter a problem, you will know how to solve it. You will also learn that you have to try again to succeed from failure.
5) Improving social relations.
How do children play with each other? By discussing how to do something together, the relationship can be improved. What methods do we share with each other? How to play harmoniously in the school sports team, etc. Let them know what they can't do. You can learn to do it.
6) Learning to care about the environment.
Our world is changing. But not to get better. Children can no longer walk in the forest. I don't have to dig the big land anymore, They can no longer find the animals they love. I can't climb anymore, I can't play in streams anymore, If they don't know what the ocean is, they won't know what is lost in the world. The future of our planet depends on them. They need to understand that the environment must be preserved. They need to know what will happen when the forest they used to play in is gone. When they learn to think about what to do when the streams they play in are gone, they will know how to preserve the environment. So let your child play outside in the natural environment. Best of all, play outside with them.
Because of the advantages above, I encourage you to give your child time to go outside and play at least once a week.
