Think about how calming it is for you when you take time to
go outside and smell the fresh air, bask in the sunshine and listen to the
birds singing. It is the same for your
baby but even better. Your little one
has probably never seen, heard or experienced bird songs, the smell of lilacs,
the bursting bubbles, or the texture of a cottonwood pod. By exposing him to these new experiences, you
help him build neural pathways as he processes what is going on around him. A
side benefit of taking your baby outside is that she will begin to associate
being outdoors with happy fun times and will want to be outside more and
more. Outside. Away from the tv and video and electronic
gaming systems. We make sure our babies here at AoHV have a full hour everyday
outside for this time to play, experiment, have fun, and enjoy the weather!!
