Connecting Children to Nature
December 11, 2012
Minds are like parachutes, they only function when they are open.
-James Dewar
-James Dewar
"Nature is a constant in human life throughout history and geography. The same songbirds children see in the spring will winter somewhere else around the globe. Helping children find those connections, perhaps by looking at pictures of the places “our” birds go in the winter, is a great way to help them realize how interconnected life on our planet really is....
"Developmental psychologist Martha Ferrell Erickson, a leading authority in parent-child attachment, recently spoke of a child’s innate attachment to nature as an additional key to health and well-being throughout childhood. This natural connection is often evident when a fussy baby is taken outside and quickly calms to this literal change of scenery. But just as early bonding establishes the foundation of trust between parent and child, the earlier a child develops a “bond” with the natural world, the more likely that child will feel trust and comfort in nature versus fear and dread."
