Read Along Series: Last Child in the Woods (Part 2)
In Section 1 of Last Child in the Woods, Richard Louv writes about our society’s apparent disconnection from nature. After describing the deleterious effects of what he has called, Nature Deficit Disorder, he wraps up the section by pointing out, “deficit is only one side of the coin.” In Section 2, he discussed the other side of that coin: “natural abundance”.

Let’s Play Birthday Party!
Every birthday is monumental in a kid’s eyes. Even pretend ones! “Birthday Party” is one of my favorite dramatic play themes to set up, and the kids love it too!

Steve Spangler and the Human Beings
I’ve been having some fun telling people I shared a speaking engagement with Steve Spangler over the weekend. Technically it is true, though Steve and I never actually met. He was the keynote speaker at an early childhood education conference where I taught one of the breakout sessions.

Read Along Series: Last Child in the Woods (Part 1)
Richard Louv wrote Last Child in the Woods almost 8 years ago. I first read it (actually listened to it) back in 2008, and as luck or providence would have it, I began to reread it recently on a family trip to Zion National Park.
