Our company offers what they like to call "brown bag" parenting seminars over the lunch hour. Number that I've attended so far? Zero.
A number not likely to change after reading this description of the newest session being offered:
Richard Louv's new ground breaking book, "Last Child in the Woods," claims that children are becoming nature deprived. He provides new insights into the rise of childhood obesity, attention disorders and depression claiming that many children suffer from nature-deficit disorder.
In this session we will talk about this rising body of research and talk about practical ways to add "nature activities" back into our children's lives for healthy physical and emotional development.
Practical ways, eh? Try these four words: GO OUTSIDE AND PLAY.
