Greetings
Sometimes your baby just won’t stop fussing. You’ve fed them. You’ve changed their diaper. You’ve given them toys. You’ve even tried to entertain them with music, but still they cry and fuss. This is a great time to take them outside into nature.
Research has shown that older children are calmed by being in nature, and babies are similarly soothed by being outdoors, even if you're simply napping outdoors or visiting a city playground or park. According to some educators and psychologists, when children don’t get enough time outdoors, they may even come to suffer from “nature-deficit disorder.”
