Why Your Kids Need a Seaside Holiday Break

 

The weather is warm and the beaches are beckoning. You along with your family surely need a break from daily hectic monotonous daily life. Children also needed a break. They so far have spent a boring confined life since the pandemic started. Now, as the situation has started to get normal, it is the right time for a day out. There is no alternate choice than to spend a relaxing time on the beach.

 

Daycare experts say that the fine beach sand between the toes, the sound of waves, sun kissing shoulders, dipping in crystal clear water – all these things have made the beach the most favorite place of a child. If you offer your kids to go to the beach, they will be always on their toes., a recent study shows that ‘blue space’ like oceans, lakes, and rivers has a more positive effect on kids than ‘green space’ like parks and lawns. Another study shows that the sea has a more calming effect on everyone including the children than anything else. The blue water helps to reduce your children’s physical as well as mental stress.

Experts in child care chino CA tells that taking to your children to any seaside at least twice a year should be included in your childcare regime. On the sea beach, there are so many options to play. Bring Frisbee, a football, soccer ball, or volleyball, or ping pong paddles when you are on the beach with your children because these are the favorite activities of the children. Some children like to make sandcastles and some like to play in the water. Activity on the beach releases endorphins and uplift the mood. Swimming or playing in the saline water of the sea helps to release extra mucus from the nose and clears stuffy nose which is a common problem of most of the kids.

 

The most important fact is that sunbathing allows the body to absorb ample vitamin D from sunlight. Adequate vitamin D helps the body to absorb the calcium from food and calcium makes the bones strong. So, sunlight on the beach is beneficial for the children. It also enhances the immunity power of the children.  

 

A recent study on daycare has given an important fact. The study says that beach activity can help advance brain development. A  Child care expert in Chino, CA, says that the limbic area of the brain is not utilized at home but when outdoor, different activities, different scenery, and different weather stimulate this dormant part of the brain. The brain switches on to seeking and exploring mode. This improves the cognitive, motor, and social skills of a child and enhances creativity, and improves imagination.

 

But parents must obey some safety measures for their children. Be sure that your children wear an approved quality life jacket not only in the water but also when they are walking in the knee-deep water because a sudden wave can cause an accident. Allow them to swim only in safe areas. Do not forget to apply a good amount of sunscreen lotion to protect your child’s delicate skin.
