Özellikli Çocuk Gruplarıyla Doğa Etkinlikleri

Açık havada daha fazla zaman geçirmek, çocukların sosyal ve bilişsel gelişimini, fiziksel aktivitesini ve görüşünü geliştirir. Düzenli yapılan orta-yoğun fiziksel aktivite, yüksek tansiyon, obezite, kalp hastalığı, inme, depresyon ve kanser riskinde azalma dahil olmak üzere birçok sağlık kazanımıyla bağlantılıdır. Düzenli fiziksel aktivite beden sağlığı kazanımlarının yanısıra artmış akademik ve bilişsel performans, daha yüksek benlik saygısı ile de ilişkilendirilmiştir. Çocukların açık hava etkinlikleri daha çok kamusal alanlarda olduğu için bu alanların özellikli çocuk grupları dahil tüm çocuklara uygun hale getirilmesi ve denetlenmesi için bu konuda yapılacak iyileştirme çalışmalarına ihtiyaç vardır. Epilepsi, diyabet, astım, otizm gibi kronik hastalıklara ya da atopik bünyeye sahip çocuk gruplarla birlikte doğa etkinlikleri yapılmak istendiğinde bazı özel hazırlıklar ve etkinlik sırasında dikkat edilmesi gereken hususlar vardır. Bu derleme ile hem özellikli çocuk grupları hem de sağlıklı çocuklar ile doğa etkinliklerinin mutlu başlayıp bitmesi için gereken bazı bilgileri paylaşmak istedik.

Nature Activities with Special Child Groups

Spending more time outdoors improves children's social and cognitive development, physical activity, and vision. Regular moderate-intensity physical activity is linked to many health benefits, including a reduced risk of high blood pressure, obesity, heart disease, stroke, cancer, and depression. Besides physical health indicators, physical activity has also been associated with higher academic and cognitive performance, and higher self-esteem. Since children's outdoor activities are primarily in public areas, there is a need for improvement studies to make these areas suitable for all children, including special child groups, and to supervise them. There are some special preparations and points to be considered during the activity when nature activities are desired to be held with child groups with chronic diseases such as epilepsy, diabetes, asthma, autism, or with atopic structure. With this review, we wanted to share some of the information needed to ensure that nature activities start and end happily with both special and healthy child groups.
