Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children From Nature-Deficit Disorder Audiobook

" Very interesting book. All kids need to spend more time in nature! "

" Really interesting. Gave me a lot to think about. I'd love to discuss this with other people who've read it. "

" My most beloved parenting book. "

" Excellent book that gives adults a great deal to think about when parenting children today. The end of the book provides extensive resources to get your family OUT. "

" Liked this a lot! Many good things to think about, although I skimmed the middle a bit because I felt like I was already on board and didn't need any more convincing. I appreciated the suggestions in the back also, since most of what I highlighted throughout were ideas and ways I can improve experiencing nature at our house. I sort of wish we had our own forest in the backyard and I definitely want a treehouse!! "

" This book challenged me to simply enjoy outside more on the weekends as an adult, and I noticed a major change in my disposition. Eager to follow up this read with "The Nature Principle." "

" I loved this book. Louv comes up with a "disorder" to describe how kids are growing up with technology overload at the expense of playing outdoors and as a result, will become adults with no connection to nature. There are so many common sense observations and truths in this book. It made me remember the value of encouraging your kids to explore, create, and get dirty...and put down the wii remote! "

" Esxcellent. Really makes me think about how we are raising out children. Also makes me think about how I could have a more positive influence on the community "

" I think this is really important and I enjoyed that it was written through anecdotes and interviews mostly. Wish he would've mentioned land trusts' work. "

" The author had some good points, and there is truth in much of what he says. The book was a little redundant, in the latter chapters I felt like he was just repeating the same thing just with different words. "

" It was a very interesting topic, although the author is rather redundant in his examples. I think this is so, so important to integrate into everyone's lives!! "

" i really liked and agreed with the whole concept of this book, however, i found it to be unnecessarily redundant. "

" Great look at the "de-evolution" of our society, and our children, based on the fact that we are so disconnected from nature. Explains how important it is for children to be exposed to natural environments, for psychological, creative, and intellectual growth. "

" I already know that this should be required reading.....before its too late.... "

" This is a great book for any parent or teacher, not just science teachers. Wonderful research on the importance of getting children outside to learn put into language that was easy to understand. "

" I know we keep our kids under a more watchful eye, to protect them from the "changing times", but do they get to play outside enough? This books dives into the importance of nature, downtime and exploration in the development of our children and our future. "

" Not really a book to sit down and read for pleasure, but I do have a renewed ambition to let my children experience the outdoors. There were some great things to think about in this book. "

" The school age children in my building now are totally disconnected from nature "

" More philosophical than practical, but still worth reading. Reinforced what I was already raised to believe (in unintentionally) - that outdoor play is valuable. "

" interesting read, makes a strong argument for increasing time outside for kids (something i've always believed in), it reads more like a book on louv's beliefs than anything else, although he does offer some research here and there to make his point. "

" Inspiring at first, and then starts feeling redundant. I didn't finish. But I liked the message. "
