Take a moment to reflect on your daily life and determine how much time you spend in front of the computer, on the phone, watching television, texting, blogging, Facebooking or whatever. Now subtract the amount of time you spend sitting outside, walking in the woods, gardening or otherwise interacting with nature.
It is widely accepted that we are more disconnected from nature today than we were a century ago. Most parents have disconnected themselves from life. Concerns for kids’ safety, lack of free time and urban sprawl all contribute to the problem, and even though parents may tout the benefits of nature or reminisce about their childhood memories of exploring the world outdoors, some adults inadvertently discourage kids from interacting with nature. Suburban neighbourhoods go to great lengths to create green spaces and natural areas but sometimes get upset when children enter the picture, worried they’ll damage the area or get hurt (and then possibly sue the owner’s association).
While those are legitimate grown-up concerns, they do discourage natural play, which contributes to the childhood obesity epidemic.
