How to Encourage Kids to Play Outside

Apr202023
PARENTING CONFIDENT KIDS

As technology continues to advance, kids are spending more time indoors and less time outdoors. It’s crucial to encourage kids to play outside as it provides numerous physical and mental benefits, including building confidence. Here are some tips on how to encourage kids to play outside.

Play With Them

One way to encourage your kids to play outside is by playing with them. Children are more likely to participate in activities if their parents or caregivers are involved. You can play catch, ride bikes, or go on a nature walk with your kids. Take the occasional day trip to the beach or the mountains for a change of scenery and even more fun. It’s a great way to spend quality time with them and build their confidence in the process.

Remove Backyard Dangers

Parents may worry about sending their kids to play outside due to the potential dangers. However, you can remove those dangers to ensure your child’s safety. One common danger is insects, especially during the summer months. Colonies of insects tend to reach their full size by the summer, and it’s important to keep them at bay. To ensure your children can play outside with peace of mind, you should prune overgrown trees and bushes and eliminate any hazardous objects or debris. By taking these precautions, they are free to explore the great outdoors in safety.

Add Fun Features

Transform your yard into a paradise for your kids and you will be sure to see them excitedly running outside. By adding some fun features like swings, trampolines or even small pools, playing outdoors will become their favorite pastime. Not only does it benefit the environment but also encourages physical activities that are essential for healthy growth in children. These features not only provide entertainment but also physical activity. They’re great for building confidence and improving coordination. Additionally, you can create a garden with your kids. Gardening is a great way to teach kids responsibility while also getting them outside. It provides a sense of accomplishment when they see their hard work pay off, which in turn boosts their confidence.

Getting kids to play outside is essential for their physical and mental health, as well as building their confidence. By playing with them, removing backyard dangers, and adding fun features, you can encourage your kids to go outside and explore. Remember, it’s never too late to start, so take the first step and get outside with your kids today!
