あらすじ・解説
In this episode of Resilience Gone Wild, Jessica Morgenthal speaks with Ruth Wilson, a lifelong advocate for nature-based education and author of Nature and Young Children. Together, they explore how connecting children with nature supports mental health, physical well-being, cognitive development, and spiritual growth. The conversation dives into the concept of nature deficit disorder—a term coined by Richard Louv—and why unstructured time in nature is essential for kids. Ruth shares personal insights on the power of outdoor play, sensory experiences, and reciprocal relationships with the natural world, encouraging families and educators to cultivate awe, joy, and belonging through nature connection.
