We Are Telling Our Kids That Nature

Time Spent In Nature Is The Most Cost-effective And Powerful Way To Counteract The Burnout And Sort Of Depression That We Feel When We Sit In Front Of A Computer All Day.

Nature Is Often Overlooked As A Healing Balm For The Emotional Hardships In A Child's Life. You'll Likely Never See A Slick Commercial For Nature Therapy, As You Do For The Latest Antidepressant Pharmaceuticals. But Parents, Educators, And Health Workers Need To Know What A Useful Antidote To Emotional And Physical Stress Nature Can Be. Especially Now.

Leave Part Of The Yard Rough. Don't Manicure Everything. Small Children In Particular Love To Turn Over Rocks And Find Bugs, And Give Them Some Space To Do That. Take Your Child Fishing. Take Your Child On Hikes.

Nature Is One Of The Best Antidotes To Fear.

Every Child Needs Nature. Not Just The Ones With Parents Who Appreciate Nature. Not Only Those Of A Certain Economic Class Or Culture Or Set Of Abilities. Every Child.
