Mother Nature has teased us with warm days recently, whetting our appetite for getting outdoors.Spring is near and with the nice weather we’ve been having, it’s time to think about getting back outside.But, thanks to video games and other electronic devices, childhood has moved indoors. Sadly, the National Wildlife Federation reports that the average American boy or girl spends as few as 30 minutes in unstructured outdoor play each day, and more than seven hours each day in front of an electronic screen.This shift inside profoundly impacts the wellness of our nation’s kids. Childhood obesity rates have more than doubled the last 20 years; the United States has become the largest consumer of ADHD medications in the world; and pediatric prescriptions for antidepressants have risen precipitously.Our kids are out of shape, tuned out and stressed out, because they’re missing something essential to their health and development: connection to the natural world.
