Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder
Author and chairman of the Children’s & Nature Network, Richard Louv, has written this very informative book to help parents and educators to reconnect our children (and ourselves) with nature again. It offers solutions for a greener and healthier tomorrow. 
A lot of children are facing being disconnected to the natural world around them. Modern life leaves a lot of children “plugged in” at home, instead of roaming around the countryside. It might be because parents are too busy or too afraid to let their kids discover nature. It might be because kids have too many electronic distractions that prevent them from climbing trees, building forts, hiking, sitting around campfires or building dams in the streams and getting dirty.
Children are much more likely to spend their free time plugged into their computer to play their newest computer game than enjoying nature.
Nature-Deficit Disorder is not an actual disease but a condition of alienating ourselves and especially our children from the natural world around us. Robert Louv’s book gives an insight into why we don’t let our children play outside anymore, be it because we are afraid of our kids being kidnapped, be it because we are afraid of our children getting hurt.
The author reflects on why our children (and ourselves) need nature and what we can do to reunite ourselves and our children with the natural world. You will find many suggestions how to create change in your family, school and the community.
If you want to make a difference and help your children become physically and emotionally healthier as well as caring for the planet, this book is be a must-read.
