it is important to spend sometime outside for infants, toddlers, children and adults because we need to refresh our minds. Seeing different sightseeing. It’s healthy to get our body going. Body movements are important esp to toddlers, children and adults because we can’t always stay inside. Even if it’s 10 minutes outside during cold winter months makes a difference. Going for walks is important because we all get to exercise. Getting our lungs stronger by just being outside. Seeing toddlers and children running around makes us adults happy but we have to be careful for wild animals.
