The sea is good for children: here are 5 reasons why
The sea is a real cure-all for children's health and the month of June is certainly one of the best to enjoy all of the benefits.
In June in Ceriale, in the western Ligurian Riviera, the sandy beaches are beautiful and still not too crowded. With the perfect temperature and a sun that is not too strong, children can fill-up on health and fun.
So, what could be better than a lovely family vacation now that the schools are finishing for the summer?
We can finally head for that sea that we dreamed of all-year-round, knowing that we’re doing our best for ourselves and our children.
Here are 5 reasons why bringing your children to the sea is good for them:
- The salty seawater is a tonic for the respiratory tract, for dry skin and for treating eczema.
- The sea promotes a healthier and more environmentally friendly lifestyle, as children remain in contact with nature for a long time. Benefits arise not only from contact with the water, but also from the small fish that can be seen in the shallows or the crabs in the rock pools that can represent new "friends" to meet and respect.
- The sun is good for children's bones, is good for their mood and encourages sleep. Obviously, it is extremely important that the youngsters are only exposed to the sun during the less hot hours and when the sun is not too strong.
- For the kids the beach is a real natural laboratory: slowly they become acquainted with water, they experience different tactile sensations, and they try new different consistencies like wet or dry sand. A large playground where they can learn a whole lot.
- Children have fun at the beach, playing and endlessly repeating their favourite activities. They will easily make friends with other youngsters just like them.
Last but not least, during the night the children sleep really well, leaving us parents to enjoy a few hours of tranquility.
