Excerpts taken from “Interaction with
 Nature during the Middle Years: Its
 Importance in Children's
 Development & Nature's Future”
 By Randy White


http://www.whitehutchinson.com/children/articles/nature.html
Children who play regularly in natural environments show more advanced motor
 fitness, including coordination, balance and agility, and they are sick less often
                        (Grahn, et al. 1997, Fjortoft 2001).
Natural environments stimulate social interaction between children (Moore 1986,
                       Bixler, Floyd & Hammutt 2002).
When children play in natural environments, their play is more diverse, with
imaginative and creative play that fosters language and collaborative skills (Moore &
                  Wong 1997, Taylor, et al. 1998, Fjortoft 2000).
Children with views of and contact with nature score higher on tests of concentration
 and self-discipline. The greener the view, the better the scores (Wells 2000, Taylor
                                         2002).
Children with symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are
        better able to concentrate after contact with nature (Taylor 2001).
Nature helps children develop powers of observation and creativity and instills a sense
               of peace and being at one with the world (Crain 2001).
Nature buffers the impact of life stress on children and helps them deal with
adversity. The greater the amount of nature exposure, the greater the benefits (Wells
                                         2003).
