2、d YouTube, is it actually important to be able to tell the species of one flower from another? Well, it obviously cant do any harm to know a bit about the natural world beyond the screen and the front door. And if, as a result of that, you develop a love for nature, you may care something for its su

3、rvival, which is probably no bad thing.But a growing body of evidence is starting to show that its not so much what children know about nature thats important, as what happens to them when they are in nature (and not just in it, but in it by themselves, without grownups ). Respectable scientistsdoct

4、ors, mental health experts, educationalists, sociologistsare beginning to suggest that when kids stop going out into the natural world to play, it can affect not just their development as individuals, but society as a whole.“Theres a paradox,“ says Stephen Moss, naturalist, broadcaster and author. “

5、More kids today are interested in the natural world than ever before; they watch it on the tele, they may well visit a nature reserve or a National Trust site with their families. But far fewer are experiencing it directly, on their own or with their friends, and thats what counts, this is about mor

6、e than nature.“The American writer Richard Louv, author of the bestseller Last Child in the Woods, has defined the phenomenon as “nature deficit disorder“. Something “very profound“ has happened to childrens relationship with nature over the last couple of decades, he says, for a number of reasons.

7、Technology, obviously, is one. a recent report from the Kaiser Family Foundation in the US found that the average 8-to-18-year-old American now spends more than 53 hours a week “using entertainment media“.Then theres the fact that childrens time is much more pressured than it once was. Spare time mu

Except kids never did really kick their heels. “I was out on my own and with my friends all the time, from the age of about eight,“ says Moss, now 50. “Climbing trees, building den

Today, parents dont even want their kids to get dirty.“But the biggest obstacles to todays children being allowed out in this way (or even to the nearest park or patch of wasteground) stem more from anxiety than prudence. “Stranger danger“, the fear of abducti

Blanket media coverage of the few such incidents that do occur may have contributed to this; in fact, there is a risk but its minimalthe chance of a child being killed by a stranger in Britain is, literally, one in a milli

12、e beginning to make themselves felt. On the website childrenandnature, org, Louv cites a lengthening list of scientific studies indicating that time spent in free play in the natural worlda free-range childhood, perhapshas a huge impact on health.Obesity is perhaps the most visible symptom of the la

13、ck of such play, but literally dozens of studies from around the world show regular time outdoors produces significant improvements in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, learning ability, creativity and mental, psychological and emotional wellbeing.Just five minutes “green exercise“ can produ

14、ce rapid improvements in mental wellbeing and self-esteem, with the greatest benefits experienced by the young, according to a study this year at the University of Essex.Free and unstructured play in the outdoors boosts problem-solving skills, focus and self-discipline. Socially, it improves coopera

15、tion, flexibility, and self-awareness. Emotional benefits include reduced aggression and increased happiness. “Children will be smarter, better able to get along with others, healthier and happier when they have regular opportunities for free and unstructured play in the out-of-doors,“ concluded one

16、 authoritative study published by the American Medical Association in 2005.“Nature is a tool,“ says Moss, “to get children to experience not just the wider world, but themselves.“ So climbing a tree, he says, is about “learning how to take responsibility for yourself, and howcruciallyto measure risk

17、 for yourself. Falling out of a tree is a very good lesson in risk and reward.“Ask anyone over 40 to recount their most treasured memories of childhood play, and few will be indoors. Fewer still will involve an adult. Independent play, outdoors and far from grown-up eyes, is what we remember. As thi

18、ngs stand, todays children will be unlikely to treasure memories like that. 21% of todays kids regularly play outside, compared with 71% of their parents.The picture isnt entirely hopeless, though. In the US, nature deficit disorder is big news: Louv is delivering the keynote speech at the American

19、Academy of Pediatrics annual conference; city parks departments are joining with local health services to prescribe “outdoor time“ for problem children. Here, organisations such as the RSPB, National Trust and Natural England are “moving moun rains“ to get families outdoors, Moss says. Often, though

20、 this remains what he calls a “mediated experience“determined by adults.One project, in Somerset, could show the way ahead. Two years ago the Somerset Play and Participation Service, a voluntary sector scheme run by childrens charity Barnardos in collaboration with a local authorities and a number

21、of natural environment agencies, began putting time and money into encouraging children to play independently outdoors. Part of the scheme is a website, somersetoutdoorplay, org. uk, detailing more than 30 sites across the county, from hilltops to forests and headlands to beaches, where kids can pla

There are no specific activities, no fixed equipment; there are

23、tree branches and muddy slopes. The spaces themselves are inspiring. Children set their own challenges, assess their own risks, take their own responsibility, have their own adventures, and learn from them. And what they learn cant be taught.
