Last Child in the Woods
"Last Child in the Woods" is a book by Richard Louv that explores the disconnect between children and nature. It discusses how modern society's focus on technology and urban living has led to a decline in outdoor play and exploration among children. Louv argues that this separation can negatively impact children's physical and mental health.
The book also highlights the benefits of nature exposure, such as improved creativity, reduced stress, and better overall well-being. Louv calls for a movement to reconnect children with the natural world, emphasizing the importance of outdoor experiences for their development and happiness.
