According to a new report from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the overuse of antibiotics within animal feed is making it harder for doctors to help children fight off life-threatening infections.

The report says that the fairly common practice of giving healthy livestock antibiotics as a ‘prevention’ tactic is making the drugs more ineffective especially when they are needed to treat infections in our children.  Most of the nonorganic meat in the US is full of hormones and antibiotics which ends up in the food and is negatively influencing our health.

Preschool aged children in Seattle, Washington are trading traditional classroom preschool for a chance to spend time outdoors!  Tiny Trees Preschool in partnership with the Seattle Parks and Recreational department will teach young kids in 9 city parks beginning in September 2016.

According to the preschool’s founder Andrew Jay, anything that children can learn and do indoors they can do in a park.  Plus there are much more opportunities for learning out in the natural world.  Jay has developed an awesome set of outdoor teaching skills from his work with high school and middle school children in the Outward Bound program.

His new goal is to make outdoor learning much more mainstream!
