Do you think education needs walls? If you ask me such questions,
I say no… not at all.
One who wants to learn they can learn from anywhere anytime.
Right now, I am at hospital and writing this article… so what do say?… what do you think?
do I need a desk or an office… my answer is no… because I want to learn and writing on some important topic is also a part of learning.
Here I am talking about importance of outdoors. Why outdoor is important for children have you ever think? Allow children to explore outdoors. Outdoors keeps children well, strong, motivated, enthusiastic, and young. It helps in better coordination and flexibility.
Outdoors helps the children to off depression, anxiety, stress, and increase self-esteem.
It develops team spirit and leadership skills.
Children need to be good learner as wisdom comes from understanding the lessons of life. The best education does not happen at a desk, but rather engaged in everyday living hands on exploring in active relationship with life. Nature is a tool to get children to experience not just the wider world, but themselves. Children deserves to grow and learn in a place and alongside a force that is as wild and alive as they are. Children still need a childhood with dirt, mud, puddles, trees, sticks, feathers, and pebbles. The mud will wash off but the memories will last a lifetime. There are two gifts we should give children: One is roots, and the other is wings and it is only possible when we allow them to explore outdoors. I strongly believe that “No gadget can replace outdoors” as the more they explore, more they grow.
The best school is situation & time, the best education is life skills and experimental learning not only the worksheets & smart class, if children does not know how to face the problems in real life and how to survive in any situation the degree is useless and just a piece of paper. So, allow children to go outdoors, allow them to explore, allow them to learn from their experience, so they can grow well… as not every classroom has four walls.
