Ellen Says: Childhood is a time of exploration and growth, it is a time of experience and maturation and development. For the young child living in a home, no feature of the home can be more vital to the development of a child's imagination than a well-placed window. It goes without saying that the windows to your house provide your child with access to the outside world, and of a place beyond the simple confines of the home.
As a parent and a homeowner, I seriously investigate the impact of a window on my kid's development, specifically; I pay attention to the affects of exposure to light at a young age and the placement of portholes to the world in my kid's bedroom
While windows are in themselves an excellent aesthetic adornment to my home setting, there are certain features of a casement that my home essentials simply cannot replace.
The importance of curtain and curtain rods cannot be overstated, but for the time being, I focus solely on the functions that these casements perform: it let's in light, air, sounds, and smells for the outside world. I learned that a healthy dose of sunlight is vital to the development of a child and the proper functioning of the body. Many of the body's vitamin necessities are fulfilled by an intake of good sunlight
While the risk of skin cancer and the potential for UV harm has grown in recent years, the benefits of sunlight cannot be replaced by artificial means, and are only achieved in a young child through access to a window. Because a kid's life is often sheltered as an infant and during early adolescence, the presence of a window in the room of a child is essential to a child's psychological and sociological understanding of the world around them.
If not just to prove to them that the world does not stop at the four walls of the bedroom, one to two windows are absolutely vital to the health of a developing child.
While they are often under appreciated, casements are surely a necessity to have in any home. When it comes to aesthetic considerations, the possibilities are endless, but the common denominator remains: windows are a vital part of a child's life at home.
