Richard Louv Quotes

Nature is one of the best antidotes to fear Picture Quote #1

A natural environment is far more complex than any playing field Picture Quote #1

Quite simply, when we deny our children nature, we deny them beauty Picture Quote #1

Nature does not steal time, it amplifies it Picture Quote #1

When you’re sitting in front of a screen, you’re not using all of your senses at the same time. Nowhere than in nature do kids use their senses in such a stimulated way Picture Quote #1

We are telling our kids that nature is in the past and it probably doesn’t count anymore, the future is in electronics, the boogeyman is in the woods, and playing outdoors is probably illicit and possibly illegal Picture Quote #1

There’s a generation now that didn’t grow up in nature. Some of these adults are parents and they know that nature is good for their kids but they don’t know where to start 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

Children need nature for the healthy development of their senses, and therefore, for learning and creativity Picture Quote #1

I do not trust technology. I mean, I don’t think we’re in any danger of kids, you know, doing without video games in the future, but I am saying that their lives are largely out of balance Picture Quote #1

As one scientist puts it, we can now assume that just as children need good nutrition and adequate sleep, they may very well need contact with nature 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

Increasingly the evidence suggests that people benefit so much from contact with nature that land conservation can now be viewed as a public health strategy Picture Quote #1

If getting our kids out into nature is a search for perfection, or is one more chore, then the belief in perfection and the chore defeats the joy. It’s a good thing to learn more about nature in order to share this knowledge with children; it’s even better if the adult and child learn about nature together. And it’s a lot more fun Picture Quote #1

The real cultural war is between the culture of narcissism and what might be called the culture of renewal Picture Quote #1

We do not raise our children alone... Our children are also raised by every peer, institution, and family with which they come in contact. Yet parents today expect to be blamed for whatever results occur with their children, and they expect to do their parenting alone Picture Quote #1

What if a tree fell in the forest and no one knew it’s biological name? Did it exist? Picture Quote #1

Prize the natural spaces and shorelines most of all, because once they’re gone, with rare exceptions they’re gone forever. In our bones we need the natural curves of hills, the scent of chapparal, the whisper of pines, the possibility of wildness. We require these patches of nature for our mental health and our spiritual resilience Picture Quote #1

The pleasure of being alive is brought into sharper focus when you need to pay attention to staying alive Picture Quote #1

One of my students told me that every time she learns the name of a plant, she feels as if she is meeting someone new. Giving a name to something is a way of knowing it Picture Quote #1

This seems clear enough: When truly present in nature, we do use all our senses at the same time, which is the optimum state of learning Picture Quote #1

Some kids don’t want to be organized all the time. They want to let their imaginations run; they want to see where a stream of water takes them Picture Quote #1

We tend to block off many of our senses when we’re staring at a screen. Nature time can literally bring us to our senses Picture Quote #1

Nature has been taken over by thugs who care absolutely nothing about it. We need to take nature back Picture Quote #1

As the young spend less of their lives in natural surroundings, their senses narrow, physiologically and psychologically and this reduces the richness of human experience we need contact with nature Picture Quote #1

A widening circle of researchers believes that the loss of natural habitat, or the disconnection from nature even when it is available, has enormous implications for human health and child development. They say the quality of exposure to nature affects our health at an almost cellular level 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

Kids and adults pay a price for too much tech, and it’s not wholesale Picture Quote #1

What if more and more parents, grandparents and kids around the country band together to create outdoor adventure clubs, family nature networks, family outdoor clubs, or green gyms? What if this approach becomes the norm in every community? Picture Quote #1

We cannot protect something we do not love, we cannot love what we do not know, and we cannot know what we do not see. Or hear. Or sense Picture Quote #1
