Materiał powstał we współpracy z Bella Baby Happy.Richard Louv, autor "Ostatniego dziecka lasu", mówi, że współcześnie dzieci spędzają najmniej czasu w naturze, w historii ludzkości. Za każdym razem, kiedy cytuję to zdanie, czuję, jak wypełnia mnie smutek.Moja rozmówczyni psycholożka Wiktoria Dróżka w pełni rozumie moje rozczarowanie. Z naszego dzieciństwa pamiętamy jeszcze inny rodzaj wolności i kontaktu z naturą. Wakacje na wsi u dziadków, ławka przed starym wiejskim domem, ogród pachnący pomidorami, huśtawka na jabłoni.W mieście? Trzepak, miejsce spotkań, podwórko, park miejski. To były lata 90.Teraz życie się zmieniło, czasy się zmieniły. Nie boimy się powiedzieć, że wypchnęliśmy naturę z naszego życia i naprawdę bardzo potrzebujemy jej powrotu. Nie musimy od razu podejmować radykalnych decyzji życiowych i wyprowadzać się na wieś.Możemy zacząć od małych kroków, od spacerów, od patrzenia w niebo, od parku miejskiego. Od wyprawy za miasto w weekend. Musimy nauczyć siebie na nowo, jak być częścią natury. A dzięki temu, przekazać tę wiedzę naszym dzieciom.

This is a Girl Take the Lead Sound Bite – which is a shorter episode which is a bit more about the topic in our most recent episode. After hearing Suparna Vashisht talk about sea turtles and coyotes previously, I knew I wanted to learn a bit more about how we connect with animals. So I found a book, Our Wild Calling, How connecting with animals can transform our lives – and save theirs by Richard Louv. One of the book reviews said that it offers hope. While this review and title of the book were wonderful, what really got me was the most amazing wolf picture on the front cover – I'm telling you that just pulled me right in – I felt connected to the golden eyes and sweet face of that wolf! Similar to the different causes Suparna mentioned, this book makes a case for protecting, promoting, and creating a sustainable and shared habitat for all creatures – not out of fear, but out of love.

The smart cities movement, which seeks to optimize public wellbeing through the use of technology and data, and the biophilic cities movement are happening at the same time - but it rarely feels like these two movements are working together towards a common goal. Our guest today, Dr. Nadina Galle, hopes to change that. Nadina is an ecological engineer who studies emerging technologies that can enhance nature in urban environments, a concept she calls the Internet of Nature (ION). Her forthcoming book, "The Nature of Our Cities: Harnessing the Power of the Natural World to Survive a Changing Planet", offers insight and examples of how nature benefits when we use new technologies the right way. In this episode, we chat with Nadina about her impressive body of work and dive into some examples - from emailing and texting trees to AI robots that can actually perform a controlled burn with less smoke.Show NotesDr. Nadina GallePre-order The Nature of Our Cities: Harnessing the Power of the Natural World to Survive a Changing PlanetThe Internet of Nature (ION)Nature Has The Answers with Monica Olsen and Jennifer Walsh of Biophilic Solutions (Internet of Nature Podcast)How Central Park Keeps New Yorkers Healthy with Jennifer Walsh of Biophilic Solutions (Internet of Nature Podcast)Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder by Richard Louv

Our kids are being raised disconnected from natural outdoor environments, for a variety of reasons like technology addictions, fears and dangers of being alone outside and many more. Michael welcomes Richard Louv, author of "Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children From Nature-Deficit Disorder." As children's connections to nature diminish and the social, psychological, and spiritual implications become apparent, Mr. Louv highlights that new research shows that nature can offer powerful therapy for such maladies as depression, obesity, and attention deficit disorder. Original air date June 2007. The book was originally published on 15 April 2005.
Charity Nebbe speaks with author Richard Louv about his 2019 book, Our Wild Calling.

Segment 4, October 28th, 2023 A recent study by Peter Gray, a researcher in psychology & neuroscience at Boston College joined with David Bjorklund from Florida Atlantic University & David Lancy, an anthropologist & professor from Utah State argues that the crisis that has befallen U.S. youth can be traced to a lack of independence. Lancy stated that the three authors were "struck by the shrinkage in the amount of time that children spend on their own & the territory they may explore..." during an interview with Caitlin Gibson of the Washington Post. This along with the published theory of Richard Louv in his 2005 book "Last Child in the Woods" coined the term Nature Deficit Disorder. This was from children now spending much more time indoors than in previous generations. The gang at the Carolina Outdoors isn't for promoting high risk activities in children but feel that the promotion of being outside, enjoying a hike, some time fly fishing, or even a permitted bike ride in the neighborhood helps build independence and a healthy, mental state & disposition. In other words, make your kids spend some portion of their week outdoors.

Democracy in a Hotter Time calls for reforming democratic institutions as a prerequisite for avoiding climate chaos and adapting governance to how Earth works as a physical system. To survive in the “long emergency” ahead, we must reform and strengthen democratic institutions, making them assets rather than liabilities. Edited by David W. Orr, this vital collection of essays proposes a new political order that will not only help humanity survive but also enable us to thrive in the transition to a post–fossil fuel world. Orr gathers leading scholars, public intellectuals, and political leaders to address the many problems confronting our current political systems. Few other books have taken a systems view of the effects of a rapidly destabilizing climate on our laws and governance or offered such a diversity of solutions. These thoughtful and incisive essays cover subjects from Constitutional reform to participatory urban design to education; together, they aim to invigorate the conversation about the human future in practical ways that will improve the effectiveness of democratic institutions and lay the foundation for a more durable and just democracy.

Introducing children to different aspects of the natural world can help them in multiple aspects of their development and growth. Time in nature has been shown to boost creativity, enhance curiosity, increase empathy and cognitive functioning, and lower symptoms of anxiety. Nature-based educational systems have been shown to improve academic performance and critical thinking.Although this information is known, children have been spending less time outdoors.

Show Notes: Research shows that time in nature is associated with improved mental health, decreased stress, enhanced creativity and prosocial behaviors, and increased connection to each other. This podcasts describes the research behind the positive effects of more contact and interaction with nature, including: reduced anger, fear, and stress and the production of stress hormones. Being in nature is good for improving concentration and decreasing the mental fatigue associated with living in stressful urban environments. urban environments require what's called directed attention, which forces us to ignore distractions and exhausts our brains. In natural environments, we practice an effortless type of attention known as soft fascination that creates feelings of pleasure, not fatigue. Interactions with nature also creates positive restorative outcomes related to stress reduction, relaxation, tranquility, escapism, physical exercises, increased longevity, and recovery from sickness. Dr. Jordan describes the positive effects of bird-watching and listening to birdsongs either in person or via recordings. This podcast also discusses the findings of Dr. Richard Louv in his insightful book, Last child in the woods: saving our children from nature-deficit disorder, including the link between access to greenspace and attention deficit disorder and children's well-being.

Albania Duch krajobrazu - przełęcz Llogara. To jest wyjątkowy odcinek, nagrywany na marginesie poszukiwań duchowości w Albanii. Jednak to tutaj pejzaże mogą budować życie duchowe człowieka! Wystarczy się dostroić. Wystarczy wybrać się chociażby… na przełęcz Llegara. Nie jest to jakieś tajne, mistyczne miejsce, ale - znana i popularna atrakcja turystyczna. Trasa trudna, wymagająca, lecz i zapierająca dech. Droga - która może przypomnieć, że pejzaż ma moc zmiany u człowieka. Chociażby - zmiany nastroju. Starożytni Grecy wyrazili tę prawdę metaforycznie, formułując mit o gigancie Anteuszu, który czerpał wyjątkową moc z kontaktu ze swoją matką Gają. Wyglądało to tak, że dopóki czuł Ziemię pod stopami, to był nie do pokonania. A potem Herkules odkrył jego tajemnicę, a ,że nie miał w zwyczaju się certolić - uniósł Anteusza i trzymał go tak długo, aż gigant opadł z sił. Wtedy go udusił. Okrutnie, lecz skutecznie i, jak zauważa Wilson, zwykli śmiertelnicy także słabną, kiedy tracą kontakt z Ziemią. Różnica polega na tym, że my, ludzie sami sobie – mniej lub bardziej świadomie – gotujemy ten los. Zatem - w drogę! Proponowana trasa zmian: Z miejscowości Vlore, aż do Sarandę na południu Albanii, bo tutaj biegnie ta niezwykła droga, a jej początkiem jest przełęcz Llogara. Przygodę można zacząć od Orkium, gdzie łapiemy oddech owiani adriatycką bryzą. *** Richard Louv, autor „Ostatniego dziecka lasu”, zauważa: przyroda jest dla ludzi coraz bliższa abstrakcji niż rzeczywistości. Obserwują ją z ekranu, konsumują odwinąwszy z plastikowej folii, zakładają na siebie po kupieniu w sklepie) i… ignorują. Przypłacają to stanem, który Louv określa jako zespół deficytu natury. *** Teoria regenerującego i leczniczego wpływu naturalnego krajobrazu jest wiekowa. Już Hipokrates twierdził że przyroda jest lekarstwem na każdą przypadłość. Zresztą już w starożytnym Egipcie leczono spacerami po ogrodach. W podręczniku „English Gardener” z 1699 r. doradzano, by spędzać wolny czas na aktywności w ogrodzie: kopiąc, sadząc i pieląc. I - jak podejrzewam - obserwując piękno natury. Zaś podczas II wojny światowej pionier nowoczesnej psychiatrii Karl Menninger wprowadził ruch ogrodolecznictwa (hortiterapii) w system hospitalizacji weteranów. *** Przełęcz Llogara - to jest niezwykle poruszające miejsce, nic dziwnego, że we wszelkim przewodnikach - nazywana jest najpiękniejszą drogą w Europie, O tym rozmawiałam też z mieszkającym od 9 lat w Orikum Robertem Gizą, który zna przełęcz lepiej niż doskonale. *** Chyba wszystko zostało powiedziane po resztę - trzeba wybrać się w trasę osobiście.
Nature deficit disorder is a term coined by author Richard Louv to describe the phenomenon of children spending less time in nature and the resulting negative impacts on their health and well-being. The term does not refer to a formal medical diagnosis, but rather a growing concern among health professionals and educators about the impact of decreased exposure to nature on children's physical and mental health. Studies indicate that only 19% of children aged 5-11 years met the national physical activity guidelines of at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity per day. Additionally, children aged 5-17 years spend an average of 2.6 hours per day on screens, such as TV, computers, tablets, and smartphones.Several factors contribute to the development of nature deficit disorder in children, including increased urbanisation, a shift towards sedentary activities such as screen time, and changes in parental attitudes and practices around outdoor play.In this podcast episode, I will go over:How nature deficit disorder is leading to more mood, sleep, and behavioural challenges in our kids;The positive effects of nature on children's mood and emotional well-being including improved cognitive functioning, reduced symptoms of ADHD and reduced stress levels (to name a few);The benefits that time in nature has on our neurotransmitters or brain chemicals;I discuss the research surrounding the positive impact spending time outdoors has on the symptoms of ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder);How outdoor play benefits sensory integration including exposure to sensory stimuli, physical movement, the calming effect of nature, and multisensory play;Plus, the ways we can encourage our kids to get outside, and I share some tips on how to get them outdoors.
A garden is a magical place! It all began in a garden. Mary, Colin, and Dickon discovered a garden's healing powers. Children find themselves while playing in and tending to a garden. “Time in nature is not leisure time; it's an essential investment in our children's health (and also, by the way, in our own)" Richard Louv. In this week's episode, Carrie shares simple and inexpensive ways to sow the seeds of wonder in your children by planting a garden.

Our society is struggling from what Richard Louv has coined, a Nature-Deficit Disorder. Using his book, Last Child in the Woods, we explore how our society is moving more indoors and less outdoors and how this is causing a decline in our physical, mental and emotional health.Thankfully, there are so many ways we can create a family culture that prioritizes nature.In this episode, we explore how a disconnect with nature causes physical, emotional and mental decline, what might be stopping us from being in nature more and how we can reconnect with nature.Thank you to our sponsors:Dry Farm WinesIf you enjoy a glass of wine but are also trying to be intentional with what you put into your body, look no further.

Our guest today is Ed Arnett, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer at The Wildlife SocietyEd has been a wildlife biologist, researcher, conservationist, and educator for more than 30 years. He has worked in the conservation policy and communications space in the last decade.Aha MomentThe day I truly learned that policy is vitally important for conservation and that most of what happens to ensure policies that positively impact wildlife and natural resources happens behind the scenes - where those responsible often never get any credit. As an example, myself and several colleagues played very heavily behind the scenes of the recently passed Bi-partisan Infrastructure Bill that included a first-of-its-kind pilot program dedicated hundreds of millions of dollars to wildlife crossing structures…this program will help both people and wildlife, and most will never really know who helped make this happen.Favorite Aha Moment Quote: It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit. Harry S. Truman.Insight2GoAldo Leopold and his great concern that people would one day think breakfast comes from the grocer and heat from the furnace.Topics We DiscussedWhy should people care about wildlife biologists and their work?

Richard Louv, co-founder of the San Diego-based Children & Nature Network, author Richard Louv adds Vitamin N to his growing list of books encouraging us to get outside. Aimed especially at families eager to share nature with their kids, Louv's practical guidebook offers "500 Ways to Enrich the Health & Happiness of Your Family & Community." All are appropriate for Earth Day, but they're also fitting throughout the year. Through his 2008 landmark book, Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder, Louv brought international attention to a backyard crisis. We are unnaturally detached from our natural surroundings. A decade later, this clarion call to parents, policymakers, and pediatricians continues to resonate. Sadly, society still suffers from obesity, attention disorders, and depression. Fortunately, however, Louv's message has galvanized an international back-to-nature campaign to “Leave No Child Inside.” City folks inclined to develop an adversarial relationship with nature find Louv's ideas comforting. For instance, dirt can strengthen immune systems; sticks are perhaps the world's oldest toys; sunshine and water are for our use and pleasure. Louv invites these urbanites to step beyond their world of concrete and hand sanitizer, and, instead, gather courage as they build resilience and new outdoor skills. Following Louv's charge to return to nature, adults report regaining their own sense of wonder. Those stepping outside are feeling a greater sense of work-life balance and freedom from frenzied family schedules. (For more ideas aimed at adults, see The Nature Principle: Reconnecting with Life in a Virtual Age by Richard Louv.) Just how much "Vitamin N" do we need?

Finding ecohappiness can decrease boys' anxiety levels and increase family harmony. There's a strong -- and direct -- link between time in nature and mental health. Human beings require nature exposure for optimal physical and mental health. Of course, that's easier to say than to achieve in modern life, when many of us live in urban environments and use screens to work, learn, and socialize. But there are fun ways to integrate nature exposure with daily life, says Sandi Schwartz, founder of the Ecohappiness Project and author of Finding Ecohappiness: Fun Nature Activities to Help Your Kids Feel Happier and Calmer. "A huge study came out a couple years ago that said, all you really need is 120 minutes a week connecting to nature. So that's about 20 minutes a day," Sandi says. "You an build a nature habit by looking at your family's routine and tweaking it. Can you walk somewhere for an errand? Eat outside? Do homework or an art project outside?" Such slight changes can make a big difference in boys' (and parents'!) moods and functioning. Research also shows that nature stimulates human creativity, productivity, and curiosity. In this episode, Jen, Janet, & Sandi discuss: Definition of ecohappiness Link between nature & mental health How to sneak in nature time -- and bring nature into your home Helping kids (and parents) feel comfortable in nature Adding in free play Making time to experience ecohappiness Teens and nature Citizen science Links we mentioned (or should have) in this episode: Finding Ecohappiness: Fun Nature Activities to Help Your Kids Feel Happier and Calmer, by Sandi Schwartz EcohappinessProject.com -- Sandi's website (includes quiz & link to FREE 30-day Echohappiness Challenge Calendar) Picky Eaters, Family Meals, and Nutrition -- ON BOYS episode (mentioned at 29:22) Richard Louv on Animals, Nature, & Boys -- ON BOYS episode Need help with your boys?

Mom Enough: Parenting tips, research-based advice + a few personal confessions!
We parents often bemoan the amount of time our kids spend on screens of one sort or another, even as we know those electronic devices also have benefits – and, no doubt, are here to stay. But balance is important for people of all ages, and what better way to find balance than by getting out into nature? A wealth of research highlights the benefits of outdoor experience for physical health, focus, creativity, problem-solving and mental health, much thanks to the stress-reducing effects of being in nature. If we and our children learn to know and love nature, we also are more likely to become good stewards of the environment. We care for what we love! With those benefits in mind, this week's guest, Sandi Schwartz, has written a practical, inspiring book that is loaded with ways to get the whole family outdoors.

A necessidade de compensar o “déficit de natureza” nas grandes cidades tem sido um ponto cada vez mais discutido no planejamento urbano. E essa também parece ser uma tendência no campo da educação. No episódio de hoje, você vai entender por que esse tema têm despertado cada vez mais o interesse dos pesquisadores e conhecer algumas iniciativas adventistas que favorecem o ensino em meio à natureza.

Ya sabemos que cuando una mujer entra en los procesos de una reducción hormonal, se expone más al estrés… este tema lo trabajé en el episodio 2 cuando les hablé del efecto que tiene el estrés con su producción del cortisol, la adrenalina, y la norepinefrina, que son hormonas que causan una disminución en las reservas de Vitamina B que tenemos en el cuerpo (lo que a su vez causa una caída de los estados de ánimo y la falta de energía muy característica en esta etapa, así como otras deficiencias en el sistema nervioso. Entonces, una manera de combatir ese estrés sostenido es la exposición a los ambientes naturales? Pero qué hace o qué provoca si NO nos exponemos al espacio natural y si nos exponemos …cuáles serían los beneficios y si eso está científicamente probado?, pues todo esto lo contestaremos en este podcast. Pues parecería surreal que algo tan a la disposición del ser humano y que está de gratis, no ocurra como se requiere y que desarrollemos el desorden de déficit de la naturaleza. Este concepto lo dejó plasmado Richard Louv en el 2005 con su libro “The last child on the Woods”, el cual desarrolló el tema de este trastorno por déficit de naturaleza que existe en los niños del siglo XXI, los cuales crecen desconectados del mundo natural; lo cual crea muchas consecuencias: como por ejemplo no conocen las señales de cuándo va a llover, no saber la hora que es según la posición del sol, no conocer el nombre y el beneficio de las plantas ni frutos que son del país que nunca han visto una guayaba en su arbusto, en fin lo que trae es una disminución del uso de los sentidos, los problemas de atención y los altos porcentajes de enfermedades físicas y emocionales. Y no cabe duda que esto ha sido causa del desarrollo urbano que se ha comido las zonas naturales y que cada vez más vivimos más alejados de las áreas naturales. También de que la mayoría de las áreas están en la tenencia de propiedad privada o que hay que pagar para entrar. Cada vez son menos los lugares públicos. Pero no hay excusa para que las visitas a playas, bosques, reservas y parques nacionales hayan descendido y que los niños pasen muy poco tiempo al aire libre durante su vida. Los estudios indican que un niño de los 90 no explora ni un 10% de lo que exploraba un niño de los 70. Como consecuencia, surge este déficit de la naturaleza que trae las el desconocimiento de tanto que nos tiene que enseñar la vinculación con lo natural, pero que también trae consigo la obesidad, y enfermedades mentales. Entonces, ante una necesidad existente, se crean grupos que ofrecen alternativas guiadas como las terapias de Bosque o baños de Bosque, grupos de rafting, kayak, etc. Estas son Terapias naturales que apoyan la sanación y el bienestar a través de la inmersión en los espacios naturales. Existen decenas de estudios científicos que han demostrado que la exposición al mundo natural puede beneficiar a la salud de una persona. ¿Y entonces cuáles son esos beneficios? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/maria-calixta-ortiz/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/maria-calixta-ortiz/support
