It could not be further from the truth. The natural landscape, wider spaces and tight knit communities of regional towns encourage better physical and mental health for our kids. ![Young girl caring for chickens](https://blog.swanbuild.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/1-11.png?width=600&name=1-11.png) Did you know on average country kids spend half an hour longer outside than their city counterparts? Bigger backyards, local natural attractions and a friendly laidback community all motivate children to be out in the fresh air more often. The kids will enjoy running from house to house in the neighbourhood for a play, biking to school with mates and exploring the local natural trails just like their parents did decades ago. Country life also means more room for pets and veggie patches. Whether domestic or farm animals, your young ones will benefit from caring for their creatures. Keeping chooks and planting their own vegetables will also inspire them to eat healthily, to learn where their food comes from and teach them about the simple pleasures of life. Regional towns tend to be very sport-centric which will also promote an active lifestyle. The community bands together to support their local kids and share in the shuttling of youths from town to town on weekends for their matches. Closer communities foster better connections and in turn better mental health.
