By Letting Our Children Lead Us To

We Tend To Block Off Many Of Our Senses When We're Staring At A Screen. Nature Time Can Literally Bring Us To Our Senses.

A Widening Circle Of Researchers Believes That The Loss Of Natural Habitat, Or The Disconnection From Nature Even When It Is Available, Has Enormous Implications For Human Health And Child Development. They Say The Quality Of Exposure To Nature Affects Our Health At An Almost Cellular Level.

All Spiritual Life Begins With A Sense Of Wonder, And Nature Is A Window Into That Wonder.

Each Of Us-adult Or Child-must Earn Nature's Gift By Knowing Nature Directly, However Difficult It May Be To Glean That Knowledge In An Urban Environment.

This Seems Clear Enough: When Truly Present In Nature, We Do Use All Our Senses At The Same Time, Which Is The Optimum State Of Learning.
