The social distance of the coronavirus pandemic is reminding Americans of the healing powers of the great outdoors.
Going outside can be especially therapeutic for kids. Nooshin Razani, a pediatrician who runs the Center for Nature and Health at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital in Oakland, California, hason how trips to the park can buffer the negative effects of childhood traumas such as abuse, poverty or living through a catastrophe. Time spent outdoors improves health outcomes and can boost resilience, including the ability to handle and regulate stress over a lifetime.
"I’d like the kids to feel that they can appreciate nature as a peaceful place," says Anita Sharma. She and her family have made going to the park part of their daily routine amid coronavirus control measures. People don’t need a beach or a large city park to feel the benefits of nature. As many states issue stay-at-home and shelter-in-place orders, experiencing “nature” can be redefined as walking down an urban street, looking up at the sky or digging for worms in the yard. All these can offer the same mental and physical benefits, Razani said.
