Check out the latest study from Children and Nature Network : Can Playing in the Dirt Make You Smarter? I used to laugh in digust and amusement when my husband told me that he ate dirt as a child. Now, I wonder if all that dirt consumption contributed to his brilliance in math and physics.
Next time you see a puddle of mud, encourage your children to jump in it, rather than over it!

Playing is so good for you! I don't know if eating dirt makes you smarter, but playing does!
I just find it so amazing that inhaling and or ingesting the specific bacteria has been proven to reduce depression and anxiety! The research is great!
I love sending the kids out in the rain. Sometimes I even give them umbrellas. :)
This will be a hard one for me...but I will give the puddle thing a try! My son will be elated! :)
Fascinating! Imagine doctors prescribing time outside in the dirt in lieu of antidepressants!
