A couple years ago I read an amazing book called “Last Child in the Woods: Saving our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder” by Richard Louv. It was a big eye opener on how today’s kids don’t have as many opportunities to enjoy nature. Since then, I’ve tried to create more opportunities for my own children to avoid what Richard Louv calls “Nature-Deficit Disorder”. I share those on The Creative Mama blog today so go check it out!
I LOVE that book! My dad got it for me and I totally am thinking about it constantly with my kids too…good job recommending it!
