Physical Literacy and Nature Exploration (PLANE) : Enhancing Connections Between Families and Nature Coschizza, C.; Deduque, C.; Huynh, J.

Abstract

Time spent in natural environments has been proven to be beneficial for both child development and for the physical and emotional health and wellbeing of all age groups. As a family, spending time outdoors not only improves personal development and health, but can strengthen bonds and relationships between children and their caretakers. With this in mind, this project focussed on understanding family-nature interactions and also sought to foster family-nature interactions through the creation of a community program. In collaboration with Little Mountain Neighbourhood House (LMNH), we gathered information, tools and resources in order to develop and implement a physical literacy and nature exploration programs (PLANE) that would be delivered by LMNH.
