What are the seven critical issues identified by Nelson (2012) that impact young children's development due to children's decreased outdoor activities?
What will be an ideal response?
(1) The absence of exercise that has resulted in an increase in obesity, heart disease, and diabetes. (2) The increased engagement with electronic toys and decrease in the amount of time spent interacting with peers in collaborative problem-solving activities. (3) The enhanced feeling that the outdoors is an unsafe place, and an increase in children's organized, adult-directed activities-(e.g., sports, classes, tutoring). (4) The decrease in interactions with nature and the feelings of peacefulness and wonder that can occur through exploring open spaces. (5) An unconnected feeling with neighborhoods, environments, communities, and local habitats. (6) Early education programs that focus more on the mental development of children's skills while overlooking the need for children to engage in independent, exploratory activities. (7) The increased number of young children who depend on medications so that they will not "misbehave" or can perform better and with more concentration.
