Helping Kids Reconnect With Nature
Discover practical ways to help kids disconnect from screens through outdoor activities, sensory experiences, and family nature adventures that support wellness, creativity, and resilience.
“Research shows that children thrive physically, mentally, emotionally, and academically when they spend time outdoors. Nature lowers stress and anxiety while boosting creativity, resilience, confidence, and physical health. Simply put, kids do best outside,” said journalist, children’s author and ChariTree Foundation founder Andrea Koehle Jones. “Outdoor experiences also help young people become capable climate leaders. Hands-on activities like tree planting build agency at a time when more than one billion children worldwide face extreme climate risks.”
