🌿 Why Are Children Disappearing from Nature? | Scholastica Bookshelf Ep. 4 🌿

Описание: 🌿 Why Are Children Disappearing from Nature? | Scholastica Bookshelf Ep. 4 🌿

Have you noticed how rare it is to see children playing outside these days? Not just in the woods, but even in parks and playgrounds? Screens have replaced streams, and the simple joys of outdoor play are vanishing.

In this episode of Scholastica Bookshelf, we dive into Last Child in the Woods by Richard Louv—a powerful book that explores the alarming effects of Nature-Deficit Disorder and why reconnecting with nature is essential for our children’s mental, physical, and spiritual well-being.

As Muslims, we recognise nature as a sign (ayah) of Allah’s creation, and we are entrusted as stewards (khulafa’) of the earth. But without deep, regular exposure to the natural world, how will our children develop this connection?

In this episode, we discuss:
📖 The key insights from Last Child in the Woods
🌱 How a lack of nature impacts children’s mental & physical health
🕌 The Islamic perspective on nature and our role as stewards
🏕️ Practical ways to reconnect our children with the outdoors

Practical Tips:
✔️ Forest school & outdoor learning
✔️ Bushcraft & survival skills
✔️ Active family holidays & trekking
✔️ Scouts & adventure programs
✔️ Messy outdoor play & gardening
✔️ Visiting national parks & protected areas
✔️ Learning about conservation & climate change

Let’s bring nature back into our children's lives! 🌍✨
