Additional Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder Information
|
In this influential work about the staggering divide between children and the outdoors, child advocacy expert Richard Louv directly links the lack of nature in the lives of today’s wired generation—he calls it nature-deficit—to some of the most disturbing childhood trends, such as the rises in obesity, attention disorders, and depression.
Last Child in the Woods is the first book to bring together a new and growing body of research indicating that direct exposure to nature is essential for healthy childhood development and for the physical and emotional health of children and adults. More than just raising an alarm, Louv offers practical solutions and simple ways to heal the broken bond—and they are right in our own backyard.

What Customers Say About Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder:

Anyone who has kids, works with kids or ever was a kid (yes I mean everyone) should read this book.
The book was in mint condition and arrived just in time to be given as a Christmas gift.
Since I live in the woods and my grown children, with my grandchildren all live in the city, I purchased multiple copies of this book as gifts. Hoping to see them all more.
I think every single parent should read this book and think deeply about the education we are providing our children.
Every parent who grew up in the outdoors should read this and remember what it meant to be a child. Generations are loosing their connection to the land and the land is what made America great. Read it and get back out there with your children, or simply get back out there yourself.
