Why Nature Matters: Supporting Children's Learning and Wellbeing Through Nature

"Why Nature Matters is a practical guide for restoring the bond between children and the natural world. Grounded in evidence-based practice, it provides the listener with an understanding of why a connection to nature is so vital for children and how to make that connection happen. The book presents a holistic model of nature engagement that nurtures the wellbeing and development of our children. It introduces the Nature Connection Pyramid, which moves through four levels of nature connection, giving listeners the science of 'why' they should make connections to nature a priority, alongside the 'how', with practical exercises and activities. This framework begins by exploring the foundations of attachment, safety, and sensory connection, before considering creative exploration, meaning-making, and, finally, higher nature connections. Each chapter includes rich and diverse stories about nature connections and their impact, as well as reflections and top tips on how to bring more nature into children's lives. This resource shows and tells why nature matters and gives ideas on how to rewild ourselves and not just the planet. It will be an essential tool for early childhood educators and teachers, nature practitioners, and occupational therapists and other allied health professionals."
