"The Last Child in the Woods" is a book by Richard Louv that explores the growing 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, which are essential for children's development. Louv introduces the concept of "nature-deficit disorder," suggesting that this separation from nature can lead to various physical and emotional issues in children. The book emphasizes the importance of reconnecting children with the natural world to foster their well-being and encourage a sense of environmental stewardship.
