Nurseries should encourage kids to try new activities outside

Little ones should be encouraged to try new activities outdoors by nursery schools they go to, according to one expert on the subject.
Sara Knight, who works for Anglia Ruskin University, pointed out that young kids must be able to do this to develop, even though nurseries may feel nervous about letting them play outside.
She wrote in her book Risk and Adventure in Early Years Outdoor Play: Learning from Forest Schools that outdoor activities should be kept exciting and adventurous to keep little ones entertained.
"We owe it to the futures of individual children and to a healthy society to foster habits of adventurous outdoor activities as early as possible," according to Sara.
She pointed out that kids should be able to try new activities that involve "reasonable risks", such as scrambling over piles of logs, instead of being stuck in a sterile environment.
In addition, Mykidshealth.co.uk said that parents can take part in value for money activities with their kids outside by playing football and bringing hot chocolate along for a half-time treat!
