Growing Minds Need Greener Spaces
It is not a secret that spending time outdoors is good for us.The more we learn about the benefits of being in nature, the more sense it makes to get outside.
1.New research suggests that kids may learn better when they are surrounded by greener spaces.Green spaces are spaces filled with Vegetation-like trees,flowers and other plants.
But these days,outdoor time is competing for a child’s attention with indoor activities.Children may find it difficult to resist computers,television and electronic games.2.All these indoor activities can hurt a child’s physical and mental health.
Doctor Payam Dadvand and his team at the Centre for Research in Environmental Epidemiology in Barcelona study the environment effects on health and learning.
The researchers used information from satellites to learn how much green space surrounded each school.Over one year, the children took computerized tests for four times.3.They found that the children with higher contact with green space had better ability to memorize.They were also more attentive.4.More trees means less air pollution.
5.Lisa Freund is an expert in child psychology for the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.She says more studies are needed to learn the Health and Human Development.She says more studies are needed to learn the reasons that vegetation in and around schools improves mental ability.
