good reasons to take it outside…51) Being outside makes us
happier! Studies indicate that children who play outside are less stressed, more confident and have improved self esteem.
2) It makes us healthy! The
American Academy of Pediatrics states that 60 minutes of daily free play outside helps fight obesity, attention deficit disorder and other health issues.
3) It helps kids learn! Outdoor play has been associated with improved school performance, increased creativity and longer attention spans.
4) It’s free! Many outdoor
activities cost little or nothing.
5) It helps bring families closer! Activities in nature are something the whole family can enjoy together.
Get Outdoors Anchorage is a coalition of agencies, groups and community members working to help reconnect
Anchorage residents, including kids, with nature.
