Move towards nature when feeling down.Miracles do happen if you try.According to
studies,walking among trees makes us relaxed.36 There's plenty of research showing the
link between being in nature and being happy,but most of the research has focused on adults.
37 Explaining the motivation behind the study,researchers note that with environmental
issues such as global warming,more studies are focusing on the relationships between humans
and nature to find solutions to these problems,and the future of the planet lies in the hands of
children and their actions.However,few studies focus on this aspect.
For the study,researchers worked with 206 children between the ages of 5 and 15.To
measure how connected they were to nature,the kids were asked how much they enjoy activities
like seeing wildflowers and wild animals,hearing sounds of nature and touching animals and
plants.38 They also found that the more concerned children were about the environment
and nature,the more likely they were to be happy.
So,exposure to nature is related to active behaviors and happiness of children.What does
that mean to adults As we all know,children usually tend to follow adults',especially their
parents'behaviors.That's to say,when adults are outside and appreciate nature,kids learn by
example.39
Researchers say that children need role models who can gently guide them to nature with
excitement and an attitude of a lifelong learner.40 What's more important is that they spend
time together with children by exploring a fun and safe environment.
A.It's so adventurous going for a walk around trees.
B.Researchers will study more about the connection between children's performance and
nature.
C.And if parents enjoy being close to nature,so will their children.
D.Parents don't have to be experts in environmental science or nature studies
E.They found that the kids connected to nature were more likely to behave properly.
F.In a new study,researchers wanted to see if kids get the same benefits from being
outdoors.
