“Time spent in nature is restorative for the brain, helps with emotional regulation, improves mental and physical health, reduces symptoms of ADHD, and can have benefits for sleep and memory,” said Dr. Pooja Tandon, a pediatrician and health director at Trust for Public Land.

Generation Wild partnered with Tandon and Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist Dr. Joel Stoddard of Children’s Hospital Colorado to help educate parents about the benefits of outdoor play.
