12 Tips For Creating The Right Environment Within Your Family

Nature has a way of adding beauty, a sense of calm, and creativity to any environment. Create opportunities daily to expose children to the outside world, especially getting outdoors to play! The fresh air and physical exercise will provide a pathway to good health. Research shows that children who are physically healthy are happier. Happier children create happier environments.

Display beautiful items from nature in the inside environment (especially those the children discovered!) such as sea shells, leaves, flowers, rocks, interesting sticks, and plants. The children begin to see the adult's respect and awe for natural materials, and also show a sense of honoring and caring for something. Caring for nature reflects caring for each other.
