Podcasts about free forest school

This episode is all about nature, free play, and how it has helped Kat's son Leo who is three years old and has XXY. I began thinking over our journey and our introduction to Free Forest School. Free Forest School is an international organization where children and caregivers meet in nature with no toys for unstructured and child-led play. https://www.freeforestschool.org/ https://livingwithxxy.org/

“Analysis of Children's Drawings to Gain Insight into Plant Blindness” with Dr. Christina Hargiss and Dr. Paula Comeau Plant blindness is a phenomenon that, despite its name, has nothing to do with whether or not plants can see. It is actually defined as our inability to see or value the plants around us. Interdisciplinary researchers Drs. Christina Hargiss and Paula Comeau have spent a lot of time digging down to the “roots” of this problem, with research touching anything from psychology to history, cryptography, literature, art and more. This episode, we discuss their work studying plant blindness and mental models in children’s art. Listen to this two part episode to learn more about: What plant blindness is How child psychology and plant blindness research overlap What hurdles researchers face when working with younger study groups How you can fight plant blindness using your grocery store What witch trials, Harry Potter, confederate armies, and cryptography have to do with plant blindness What the next steps are in plant blindness research If you would like more information about this topic, this episode’s paper is available here: dx.doi.org/10.4195/nse2019.05.0009 It will be freely available from 4 March to 18 March, 2020.

It’s amazing to see what children can learn and discover when we turn them loose to dig in the dirt, splash in the water or follow a bug to see where it goes. Yet many of us parents are uncomfortable venturing beyond structured playgrounds or unsure how much direction and protection to provide when we dare to take our children into a less predictable natural setting.   So Anna Sharratt, outdoorswoman and mom of two young children, decided to develop a simple, sustainable approach to bring parents and kids together in New York, Texas, Minnesota and elsewhere across North America. Dubbed “Free Forest School,” Anna’s model has helped thousands of parents and kids reap the benefits of nature play, come rain or shine. In this week’s Mom Enough discussion, learn how you can participate in a Free Forest School group.   The health and education benefits of nature play have been well-documented and widely publicized, yet too many American children still do not have opportunities to explore nature. Why do you think that is so? With your own children, what have you done to give them opportunities for free play and exploration in nature? What has helped or hindered you from making sure your kids (and you) reap the benefits of nature? Will you join a Free Forest School group or start a group in your community?   To learn more about Free Forest School, click here. To find a Free Forest School near you, click here.
