Ep 2: Why We Explore Nature with Kids

This episode talks about the reasons we might get out in nature with our families, including both the logical "head" reasons and emotional "heart" ones. I share how my cancer diagnosis as a mom of young children that affected how much time I spend in nature with them. I recommend a new TV show I've been enjoying with my daughters, and we get to hear from our younger listeners in our first NatureKids segment.Mentioned in this episode:Send me your questions and show topic ideas through the Nature with Kids website. Follow on Instagram: @naturewithkidspodcastHarvard Health article on benefits of nature for our healthLast Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children From Nature Deficit Disorder by Richard LouvBalanced and Barefoot: How Unrestricted Outdoor Play Makes for Strong, Confident and Capable Children by Angela HanscomThe Magic of Disney's Animal Kingdom For photos, more detailed show notes, and a complete transcript of this episode, visit: https://naturewithkidspodcast.com/why-explore-nature-kidsDisclosure: Some links on this page are affiliate links.
