Did you know spending time in nature can boost children's cognitive abilities and reduce stress? August is National Wellness Month, and it's a great time to highlight the incredible benefits of outdoor activities for kids. From improved attention spans to better emotional regulation, nature truly is the ultimate playground! Our national day of outdoor play in local, national, and state parks is essential for all these reasons and more. We started #KidsToParksDay to help support kids in parks, encouraging families to explore and enjoy the great outdoors together. Being outdoors is so beneficial for kids and parks! 🌳✨ #Wellness #WellnessMonth #NationalWellnessMonth #KTP #StressRelief #KidsOutdoors #Nature #OutdoorEducation 📸: NationalParkTrust Images: Students on a #BuddyBison field trip exploring IndianaDunesNPS
