Describe how you would increase the level of time in the natural world with a child while reducing the amount of exposure to entertainment media.
Your textbook discusses the benefits of time spent in the natural world for children including lower rates of obesity, increased attention and lower levels of stress. Conversely, your textbook cites increased levels of obesity and stress and lower rates of self-esteem and school performance in children who spend multiple hours engaged with entertainment media.
In a one page essay, describe how you would increase the level of time in the natural world with a child while reducing the amount of exposure to entertainment media. What activities might you add? What restrictions might you impose? How would you ensure that these guidelines where followed? Be sure to discuss the age of the child and what is appropriate according to the developmental theories we have discussed (Erickson, Piaget etc.) Include a reference page with at least one cited source (your textbook) and a cover page.
For full credit, please address the information above in detail and ensure that your paper is at least one full page in length.
While not exact, we are moving toward APA format so papers should be double-spaced and in 12-point font.
Name, date and assignment information should be found on a separate title page, preceding the body of the paper.
Any cited sources (hint: your text) should be written on a separate resources page following the body of the work and titled \”Resources\”.
Double space your assignment.
