Wild Play is Sobels vivid and moving memoir of their journey and an in spiring guide for all parents who seek to help their children bond with the natural world. Through this familys experiences, we observe how free play in nature hones a sense of wonder, provides healthy challenges, and nurtures earth stewardship. Parents need to support kids access to independent outdoor play, says Sobel. Of course they should use judgment, but the benefits outweigh the risks.Richard Louvs Last Child in the Woods identified the urgent problem of nature deficit in todays children, sounding the alarm for parents, educators, and policy-makers. Wild Play is a hopeful response, offering families myriad ways to blaze their own trails. |
