As Summer continues to fly by, we are encouraging families to get outside and don't be afraid to get a little messy! According to Richard Louv in his book, Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder, it is vitally important that your kids interact with nature.
A nature deficit can lead to increased illness, decreased mental and emotional well-being, and can even contribute to attention deficits and diminished creativity. So, this summer, go walking through the woods, go to the park, dig for worms, work in the garden together, or go bird watching! Outdoor activities that encourage interaction with nature are good for the whole family!
To learn more about Nature Deficits and how you can help save your kids, check out Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder by Richard Louv.
