Our children do not know nature, they prefer to stay at home in front of video games and TV series rather than playing outdoors. And what if this lack of relationship<\/strong> with nature<\/strong> was the basis of some behavioral<\/strong> disorders<\/strong>, cause of obesity<\/strong> afflicting the West and allergies<\/strong> and asthma?<\/p>\n

This is the idea of \u200b\u200bRichard<\/strong> Louv<\/strong>, author of ‘Last Child in the Woods: SavingOur Children From Nature-Deficit Disorder<\/em>‘ and other books on pedagogy and social ecology, as well as adviser for the National Scientific Council, founder of the Children and Nature Network, editorialist of the ‘New York Times’ and of the ‘Christian Science Monitor’. The book is from 2005 and over the years has achieved great success, but has also been confirmed by various scientific<\/strong> researches<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The writer calls it Nature Deficit Disorder<\/strong><\/em> and it may affect disorders such as ADHD. Some research conducted by Andrea Farber Taylor, Frances E. Kuo and William C. Sullivan also show that the more natural a child’s everyday environment is, the easier it is to manage the symptoms of attention deficit\/ hyperactivity disorder. Nancy Wells and Gary Evans instead confirmed that the presence of woods and green spaces can reduce stress even in the youngest.<\/p>\n

\"Let's<\/p>\n

So let’s raise our children in the woods, on the trees, in the meadows. Let’s stop growing a generation for which nature is no longer a home, a family environment, but something foreign, often seen as dangerous. Children need not only proper nutrition and daily care, but also an outdoor<\/strong> run<\/strong>, playing in the woods, discovering the water of a lake or the sea. Contact with nature can foster creativity, the ability to solve problems, concentration<\/strong>, the joy of living.<\/p>\n

Ideas for a vacation in the woods with your children<\/h2>\n

It is something to be rediscovered every day, but also on vacation<\/strong>. So here are 5 ideas for holidays in the woods for the whole family, to bring children closer to nature.<\/p>\n
