Summary

The study uses an experimental design (RCT) to estimate the causal impact of nature-based activities on the parent-child relationship and children's emotional regulation without random assignment. After consenting to participate, all students were asked to complete a questionnaire containing questions from six validated scales to measure baseline social health and well-being conditions. i.e. Nature Connection Index (NCI), Short Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (SWEMWBS), Child-parent relationship scale (CPRS), and Children's Emotion Management Scale (CEMS). For the intervention group, 50 low-income families will be invited to experience touching the lawn barefoot and lying down to relax. Participants will also engage in nature-based games to enhance their well-being, increase creativity, and improve mood. Additionally, collective nature-inspired music and jamming activities will facilitate social bonding and encourage community interaction, while supporting participants in forming habits of connecting with nature in daily life for sustainable overall well-being. The families in the control group were not asked any specific tasks during the period. After completing the nature-based activity, participants will be asked to complete the initial questionnaire again.

Considering the importance of a connection with nature in early childhood and throughout life, this study attempts to explore how nature-based activities enhance family relationships and children's emotional management.
