The last child in the forest

The current generation of children is completely torn off from the world of nature, instead of just wandering through the forest, they study it in the lessons of environmental education. Today, children are perfect in computer games, but do not know how the oak grove looks like, and do not remember the smell of pine boron, nature for them is an abstraction, and not a real experience. Nature, like nothing else, helps the child to gain a mental balance, she can feed him the soul and become a source of deep experiences and creative insights.
The book of the American journalist Richard Lowe The Last Child in the Forest is a passionate call for all parents to raise our children from sofas, to tear off the screens of televisions and computers and re-awaken in them interest in the world of nature. The author shows that direct communication with nature is necessary for the full development of the child, for the physical and emotional health of the person and that the communication deficit syndrome with nature is the cause of many serious problems: obesity, aggression, attention disorders, depression. Richard Low offers parents and teachers practical ways to restore interrupted communication and talks about how to introduce our children to nature to grow them healthy and more adapted to life
