Nature Deficit Disorder - KQED QUEST

A growing number of children's advocates and political leaders are worried that our culture's disconnection from nature is harming kids. Concerns about the long-term consequences on children's physical and emotional well-being have spawned a national movement to "leave no child inside." QUEST explores why we need nature, and efforts to encourage children to play outdoors.

Excellent video, nature is important to children and adults alike. Loved the kids nature show posted by @orlasark. Great work, keep the kids in the woods.

This is partly why we have started our videos - Orla's Ark. Orla is homeschooling and loves nature/animals. We wanted to share that love with others. In hopes of encouraging others enjoy the outdoors and explore with their family.

When children and nature mix, something magical happens –

every child deserves that Magic!

We evolved in nature – if we become disconnected from the natural world we lose something magical, something so precious. We lose part of what it means to be human.

We all have a part to play in getting children reconnected with nature.

This video presents a very important fact about the nature of the human being. All parents should watch this, and take action.
