I\u2019m going to make this short and sweet, something I\u2019ve \u201charped\u201d about a lot.<\/p>\n

This summer, please get those kids outdoors and into nature.\u00a0 It is so easy to let them stay inside where it\u2019s cool.\u00a0 It\u2019s the path of least resistance to allow your kids to use I-pads, video games, computer games, watch television, or to engage in other electronic devices hour after hour.\u00a0 It\u2019s amazing how quickly that time can fly doing this!<\/p>\n

Yes, kids love Minecraft, the Sims, and other games like this.\u00a0 Most of these computer or video games are actually beneficial as far as learning and growing intellectually goes.\u00a0 The problem? Your kids aren\u2019t outside playing, involved in gross motor skills that help connect their bodies with their brains.<\/p>\n

Kids naturally love nature, so get them outside, and let them have a hike, climb a mountain, jump on a trampoline, swim, or roll down a hill.\u00a0 Believe it or not, these activities help in brain development.<\/p>\n

Happy hiking,<\/p>\n
