Children's interests are an important basis for creating an early childhood curriculum.

Omidvar, Nazanin; Wright, Tarah; Beazley, Karen; Seguin, Daniel – International Journal of Early Childhood Environmental Education, 2019
The importance of spending time in nature is undeniable for child development, yet from an early age most children's time in nature is restricted.

Etxebarria, Itziar; Conejero, Susana; Pascual, Aitziber; Ortiz Barón, María José; Apodaca, Pedro – Journal of Moral Education, 2019
