Richard Louv Quotes

Green exercise improves psychological health Picture Quote #1

The future will belong to the nature-smart Picture Quote #1

Nature is often overlooked as a healing balm for the emotional hardships in a child’s life. You’ll likely never see a slick commercial for nature therapy, as you do for the latest antidepressant pharmaceuticals. But parents, educators, and health workers need to know what a useful antidote to emotional and physical stress nature can be. Especially now Picture Quote #1

Nature is about smelling, hearing, tasting, seeing Picture Quote #1

The woods were my Ritalin. Nature calmed me, focused me, and yet excited my senses Picture Quote #1

The children and nature movement is fueled by this fundamental idea: the child in nature is an endangered species, and the health of children and the health of the Earth are inseparable Picture Quote #1

We can conserve energy and tread more lightly on the Earth while we expand our culture’s capacity for joy Picture Quote #1

This tree house became our galleon, our spaceship, our Fort Apache... Ours was a learning tree. Through it we learned to trust ourselves and our abilities Picture Quote #1

Mothers tend to be more direct. Fathers talk to other fathers about their kids more metaphorically. It’s a different way of communication Picture Quote #1

Passion is lifted from the earth itself by the muddy hands of the young; it travels along grass-stained sleeves to the heart. If we are going to save environmentalism and the environment, we must also save an endangered indicator species: the child in nature Picture Quote #1

An indoor (or backseat) childhood does reduce some dangers to children; but other risks are heightened, including risks to physical and psychological health, risk to children’s concept and perception of community, risk to self-confidence and the ability to discern true danger Picture Quote #1

The future will belong to the nature-smart-those individuals, families, businesses, and political leaders who develop a deeper understanding of the transformative power of the natural world and who balance the virtual with the real. The more high-tech we become, the more nature we need Picture Quote #1

Nature-the sublime, the harsh, and the beautiful-offers something that the street or gated community or computer game cannot. Nature presents the young with something so much greater than they are; it offers an environment where they can easily contemplate infinity and eternity Picture Quote #1

Leave part of the yard rough. Don’t manicure everything. Small children in particular love to turn over rocks and find bugs, and give them some space to do that. Take your child fishing. Take your child on hikes Picture Quote #1

The children and nature movement is fueled by this fundamental idea: the child in nature is an endangered species, and the health of children and the health of the Earth are inseparable Picture Quote #1

Mothers tend to be more direct. Fathers talk to other fathers about their kids more metaphorically. It’s a different way of communication Picture Quote #1

Here is the beginning of understanding: most parents are doing their best, and most children are doing their best, and they’re doing pretty well, all things considered Picture Quote #1

Our kids are actually doing what we told them to do when they sit in front of that TV all day or in front of that computer game all day. The society is telling kids unconsciously that nature’s in the past. It really doesn’t count anymore, that the future is in electronics, and besides, the bogeyman is in the woods Picture Quote #1

As the nature deficit grows, another emerging body of scientific evidence indicates that direct exposure to nature is essential for physical and emotional health. For example, new studies suggest that exposure to nature may reduce the symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and that it can improve all children’s cognitive abilities and resistance to negative stresses and depression Picture Quote #1

If war occurs, that positive adult contact in every shape is needed more than ever. It will be a matter of emotional life and death. There’s not a handy one-minute way of talking to your kid about war Picture Quote #1

As a species, we are most animated when our days and nights on Earth are touched by the natural world. We can find immeasurable joy in the birth of a child, a great work of art, or falling in love Picture Quote #1

Kids are absolutely starved for positive adult contact Picture Quote #1

Kids are plugged into some sort of electronic medium 44 hours per week Picture Quote #1

By bringing nature into our lives, we invite humility Picture Quote #1

Advertisements

Now, more than ever, we need nature as a balancing agent Picture Quote #1

These days, unplugged places are getting hard to find Picture Quote #1

Nature is beautiful, but not always pretty Picture Quote #1

Being close to nature, in general, helps boost a child’s attention span Picture Quote #1

To take nature and natural play away from children may be tantamount to withholding oxygen Picture Quote #1

Use all of your senses Picture Quote #1
