Summary

In "Kids Would Have Higher Test Scores If We Gave Them Rain Boots Instead of iPads," host Ginny Yurich and guest Florence Williams explore the profound impact of nature on our well-being. From the healing power of simple sensory experiences to the science behind why smells and sounds affect us so deeply, they reveal how reconnecting with nature can enhance our health, creativity, and even academic performance. Delving into topics like the calming effect of birdsong, the importance of fractal patterns, and the crucial role of outdoor exploration in childhood development, this podcast highlights the urgent need to prioritize time in nature for ourselves and our children. Discover why swapping screens for sunshine and rain boots may just be the key to unlocking our full potential, both mentally and physically. Tune in to learn why parks are essential for mental health, how sunlight exposure impacts eyesight, and why placing your child's desk near a window could make all the difference. With insightful anecdotes and compelling research, this episode offers a compelling argument for embracing the great outdoors for a happier, healthier life. *** Purchase your copy of The Nature Fix here >> https://amzn.to/4aUFlp6 Learn more about Florence here >> https://www.florencewilliams.com/ ** Download your free 1000 Hours Outside tracker here >> https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/trackers Find everything you need to kick off your 1000 Hours Outside Journey here >> https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/blog/allthethings Order of copy of Ginny's newest book, Until the Streetlights Come On here >> https://amzn.to/3RXjBlN Learn more about your ad choices.
