The benefits of being in nature are numerous. Nature is unpredictable and surprising and allows children to utilize all their senses - touch, taste, sight, hearing and smell. A garden provides a venue where children can enjoy unstructured free time where their imaginations can run wild, their creativity can bloom and, in general, where there "inner life" can expand.

If your knees and hips are flexible enough to squat without discomfort, then anyone of any age can use Nature's Platform. However, if there is any feeling of unsteadiness or tendency to lose your balance then you should have something to hold onto. Either attach hand grips to the wall, or set a chair in front of the toilet (facing away) so you can hold onto the back of the chair. A chair is also advisable for small children. A folding chair with rubber feet is ideal. See similar questions...

People are often confused about the importance of glasses for children. Some believe that if children wear glasses when they are young, they won't need them later. Others think wearing glasses as a child makes one dependent on them later. Neither is true. Children need glasses because they are genetically nearsighted, farsighted, or astigmatic. These conditions do not go away nor do they get worse because they are not corrected. Glasses or contacts are necessary throughout life for good vision. See similar questions...
