    Author: Jessee P, Strickland MP, Leeper JD, Hudson CJ.
    Journal: Child Health Care; 1986; 15(1):55-7. PubMed ID: 10277435.
    Abstract:
    Numerous projects conducted in various settings have supported the thesis that nature activities aid in the development of self-concept, self-confidence, and level of achievement. The nature activities described in this article were designed to cultivate the hospitalized children a sense of wonder about their world and to involve them in sensory experiences that would aid them in adjusting to their hospital experiences. As a unit, these experiments provide a comprehensive approach to therapy for the hospitalized child and add a positive dimension to the child life program.
