Summary of Richard Louv's Last Child In The Woods - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Nature, in all its forms, offers children a separate peace. It offers them healing, creativity, and a place distant from the adult world. It offers them freedom, fantasy, and privacy. #2 We often see ourselves as separate from nature, but humans are also part of that wildness. We are born into it, and we spend hours exploring the woods and farmland at the suburban edge. #3 I used to climb trees as a kid.
The woods were my Ritalin, and they calmed me and focused me. They excited my senses and filled me with wonder. #4 The issue of nature deficit disorder is becoming more and more prevalent among my generation. While many still enjoy playing in nature, many others do not, and instead see it as unproductive and off-limits.
