Green Exercise Improves Psychological Health.

Kids Are Plugged Into Some Sort Of Electronic Medium 44 Hours Per Week.

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.

We Attempt To Remember Our Collective American Childhood, The Way It Was, But What We Often Remember Is A Combination Of Real Past, Pieces Reshaped By Bitterness And Love, And, Of Course, The Video Past--the Portrayals Of Family Life On Such Television Programs As "leave It To Beaver" And "father Knows Best" And All The Rest.

Natural Play Strengthens Children's Self-confidence And Arouses Their Senses-their Awareness Of The World And All That Moves In It, Seen And Unseen.

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.
