Anyway, I was listening to NPR the other day, and a guest was arguing that children have a developmental need to be “out in nature,” by which he meant away from human civilization. He gave this condition the ridiculous name of “Nature Deficit Disorder,” but I couldn’t help but wonder if I had possibly confused an inherent love for nature/wildness that children have with an enthusiasm for exploration.
