Saving our children from nature-deficit disorder. I like to play indoors better ’cause that’s where all the electrical outlets are,’ reports a fourth grader. But it’s not only computers, television, and video games that are keeping kids inside. It’s also their parents’ fears of traffic, strangers, Lyme disease, and West Nile virus; their schools’ emphasis on more and more homework; their structured schedules; and their lack of access to natural areas.” This insightful book helps us to see that we need to find ways to get our children outdoors and playing. It is more than mere entertainment at risk. Their mental, emotional and physical health needs the natural world to grow. Don’t miss this important book.
