The Calming Effect of Walking for Children

Children have a natural inclination to calm down and fall asleep when they are taken for a walk or put in a stroller. This is because humans are evolved to travel, and the rocking and swaying motion that occurs while walking mimics the soothing sensation experienced in the womb. Walking can have the same calming effect on fathers as well, helping to ease the monkey mind and induce a peaceful state. By incorporating walking as part of daily family time, fathers can experience the joy and connection that walking brings, just like their children do.
