More Green Time, Less Screen Time: A New Way To Nature
Thursday December 12, 2024 10:30am - 11:30am CST
Field Session
Field Session (Outdoors): Meet in the pre-function area of the Texas Rooms 5 minutes prior to session to walk to the outdoor area with a volunteer. Look for the sign with the name of this session on it. The pre-function area is located on the lower level of the convention center by the escalators and elevators.

Exposure to nature has been proven to be extremely beneficial for a child’s physical and emotional wellbeing. As a result, calls for youth to balance out their Screen Time with Green Time have been increasing, but it’s worth noting that younger generations may not feel comfortable spending time in nature, and may lack the confidence or experiential know-how to engage their attention span outdoors in technology-free ways. Participants will learn how to refocus their attention so that they can reconnect with nature in technology-free ways, leading to sustainable habits around getting more green time, less screen time, and improved wellbeing.
