Nature as a Regulator & Teacher Nature is one of the most powerful environments for early childhood development. Time outdoors has been shown to: • reduce stress and anxiety • improve attention and focus • support emotional balance • encourage cooperation and imaginative play Nature offers children exactly what they need - open-ended materials, sensory richness, and space to explore at their own pace. ✨ In nature, children remember who they are. #forestschool #outdooreducation #natureplay #roote
