Nature: A Stress Reliever for Kids

Kids and teens may feel stress from schedule overload. The self-imposed pressure to continually stay connected to one or more technological devices can also become a source of stress. Peer pressure has long been a source of stress for young girls. One way to relive stress is to spend time outdoors observing and absorbing the beauty and relaxation nature provides. Interacting with animals can be a diversion from the judgmental attitudes kids and adults are sometimes subjected to. Finding ways to maintain a connection to nature can be comforting and encouraging to kids when they’re having a difficult day.

Decorating a Personal Space

Adding nature-themed elements to a young girl’s bedroom décor can help her feel a connection to the natural elements in the outside world. Wall art, bedding and decorative accessories are great ways to incorporate a girls’ passion for horses or wildlife or her interest in plants, flowers or gardening. Every girl needs a refuge she can spend time in to relax, forget her troubles and regain a positive attitude. Her bedroom is the perfect place to create that refuge.

Wardrobe Items that Reflect a Girl’s Interest

A young girl living in the middle of a bustling city might daydream about living in the country where she could ride horses and spend hours listening to and exploring nature. A country girl might be in her comfort zone when she’s spending time with animals. Both of these girls are likely to have jeans in their closet and quite possibly boots and a cowgirl hat. Personalized country girl belts made of leather and a belt buckle showcasing their personality are accessories any girl with an interest in the country lifestyle would enjoy.

Spending time in nature is healthy for a young girl’s mind and body. It’s a refreshing alternative to a sedentary lifestyle and a constant focus on various technological devices. As a parent you might find some of your daughter’s décor and wardrobe ideas objectionable, but nature-themed items should be something the two of you can agree on.
