森流GreenFlow 的使命：自然的療癒力量
昨天，我們有幸參加了自閉症高峰會，展示了森流GreenFlow 的教育計劃，這些計劃透過大自然與奇特動物幫助神經多樣化的孩子成長。🌱
我們的課程不僅僅是與動物互動，還著重於培養孩子的情緒韌性、激發批判性思維，並打破自我設限或社會偏見。通過接觸自然世界，孩子們能以既有趣又具改變力的方式釋放他們的潛能。
自然與動物的療效：科學研究支持
無數研究證明，自然與動物互動對於神經多樣化的孩子（如自閉症或 ADHD）具有顯著的療癒效果：
-
自然的平靜作用
- 發表於《Frontiers in Psychology》期刊（2015）的研究表明，置身於自然環境中能減少皮質醇（壓力荷爾蒙）並促進放鬆。對於經常感到感官超載的自閉症孩子來說，自然提供了一個平靜且可預測的環境。
-
動物輔助療法（AAT）
- 發表於《PLOS ONE》（2012）的研究顯示，與動物互動能促進自閉症孩子的社交行為並減少焦慮。動物無條件的接受特質，使其成為孩子們理想的陪伴者。
-
提升專注力
- 根據「注意力恢復理論」（Kaplan, 1995），自然環境有助於恢復注意力，特別適合注意力缺陷多動症（ADHD）的孩子，他們經常難以保持專注。
-
培養同理心與責任感
- 照顧動物能培養孩子的同理心，並教導責任感。即使是簡單的餵食或觀察動物的行為，也能幫助孩子建立連結與理解的能力，這些能力能在與同儕的關係中發揮作用。
大家最喜歡的亮點
在自閉症高峰會上，我們很高興看到大家對我們的課程反應熱烈。以下是最受歡迎的亮點：
-
🦎🐢 與我們的奇特動物見面
- 我們的奇特動物（包括爬行動物和其他有趣的生物）成為活動焦點！牠們溫和的性格吸引了所有人的目光，而牠們獨特的觸感與動作則提供了有趣的感官體驗。
-
🌱 了解自然的療癒力量
- 我們展示了如何利用自然來減輕壓力、提升專注力，並幫助神經多樣化的孩子建立情緒韌性。許多家長和教育者都對這些方法如何融入日常生活感到興奮。
-
💡 鼓勵同理心與批判性思維
- 通過互動討論，我們探討了如何通過與動物合作幫助孩子克服恐懼、挑戰書本知識，並深入了解自己與他人。
Yesterday, we had the privilege of attending the Autism Conference Summit to showcase 森流GreenFlow's unique education programs—designed to help neurodiverse children thrive through nature and exotic animals. 🌱
Our programs focus on more than just interaction with animals; they're about fostering emotional resilience, encouraging critical thinking, and breaking through self-imposed or societal limitations. By connecting with the natural world, children can unlock their potential in ways that are both fun and transformative.
Why Nature and Animals? The Science Behind It
Numerous studies have highlighted the therapeutic benefits of nature and animal interaction, particularly for neurodiverse children, such as those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or ADHD:
-
Nature’s Calming Effect
- Research published in Frontiers in Psychology (2015) found that spending time in natural environments reduces cortisol (a stress hormone) and promotes relaxation. For children with autism, who often experience heightened sensory overload, nature provides a calming and predictable environment.
-
Animal-Assisted Therapy (AAT)
- Studies, such as the one in PLOS ONE (2012), have shown that interacting with animals can encourage social behaviors and reduce anxiety in children with autism. Animals provide unconditional acceptance, making them ideal companions for children who may struggle with social communication.
-
Improved Focus and Attention
- According to "Attention Restoration Theory" (Kaplan, 1995), natural environments help restore depleted attention spans. This is especially beneficial for children with ADHD, who often struggle with sustained focus.
-
Building Empathy and Responsibility
- Caring for animals fosters empathy and teaches responsibility. Even simple tasks like feeding or observing an animal help children develop a sense of connection and understanding—a skill that can translate into better relationships with peers.
What People Loved Most About Our Program
At the Autism Conference Summit, we were thrilled to see how well the audience responded to our approach. Here are some of the highlights they loved most:
-
🦎🐢 Meeting Our Amazing Animals
- Our exotic animals, including reptiles and other unique creatures, were the stars of the show! Their calm and gentle nature captured everyone’s attention, while their textures and movements provided a fascinating sensory experience.
-
🌱 Learning How Nature Heals
- We demonstrated how exposure to nature can help reduce stress, boost focus, and build emotional resilience for neurodiverse children. Parents and educators were excited to see how easily these practices can be incorporated into daily life.
-
💡 Encouraging Empathy and Critical Thinking
- Through interactive discussions, we explored how working with animals helps children overcome fears, challenge textbook knowledge, and develop a deeper understanding of themselves and others.
