Yet recent research indicates that experiences in nature are essential for healthy growth. Regular exposure to nature can help relieve stress, depression, and attention deficits. It can reduce bullying, combat illness, and boost academic scores. Most critical of all, abundant time in nature seems to yield long-term benefits in kids' cognitive, emotional, and social development. Yet teachers, parents, and other caregivers lack a basic understanding of how to engender a meaningful, lasting connection between children and the natural world. How to Raise a Wild Child offers a timely and engaging antidote, showing how kids' connection to nature changes as they mature. Distilling the latest research in multiple disciplines, Sampson reveals how adults can help kids fall in love with nature--enlisting technology as an ally, taking advantage of urban nature, and instilling a sense of place along the way"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 508.076 Sa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 508.076 Sampson Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 508.076 Sa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 508.076 Sa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 508.076 Sa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 508.076 Sa Checked In Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library Adult Nonfiction 508.076 Sa Checked In Add Copy to MyList
