Research over the last forty years has shown that a secure parent-child attachment is an important foundation for a child’s later competence and well-being. C&NN adds the perspective of nature-based experiences as an especially rich opportunity for the kinds of parent-child interactions that promote and sustain good attachment at any age. This tool kit begins with a clear and helpful overview of attachment research, and then offers a host of family-friendly, age-appropriate suggestions for things to do outdoors in nature to nurture parent-child relationships and support healthy child development.

Children’s Nature Deficit: What We Know – and Don’t Know September 2009 by Cheryl Charles, Ph.D., and Richard Louv A growing body of evidence suggests that significant changes in childhood have occurred over the past several decades relating to children’s experiences in nature.
