KIDS OF NATURE INITIATIVE
There are many green actions, but Kids of Nature focuses on helping children to feel connected with their natural environment.
We use storytelling to motive families and educators to reconnect children with nature. Our stories are about real people and real photography, as opposed to illustrations and computer-generated imagery. The on-line parenting section offers fresh ideas on how to bring nature into your home, and a child play therapist gives sound advice on nature therapy. You can only care for something you love, and being connected with nature enhances wellbeing. Offer our new children's book 'Enya & James - In The Land Of Magic' to your (grand) children and let them discover the magic in nature.
Kids of Nature addresses one of the key issues of today's society: Nature Deficit Disorder (NDD)* - the alienation of children from their natural environment resulting in emotional imbalance, violence, mismanagement of natural resources and climate change.
Urbanisation and materialistic aspirations are major causes of NDD which is affecting children at all levels of society. NDD has reached alarming levels in the USA and the numbers are growing in Europe. If we do not address this issue effectively, South Africa too will be affected dramatically. Increasing numbers of young children already suffer from obesity, depression and attention deficit disorder. The decline of the spirit of Ubuntu, increased violence and unsustainable practices are already there. If we want to contribute to building a healthy country, we must deal with the issue of NDD now.
Help us build a new generation of happy people. Help us nurture globally responsible decision makers, who are not only smart, but also innovative in their way of combining technology, business and sound environmental practices. Help us reach more children and create a better world.
Children are key to the preservation of the environment and humanity. Buy our new children's book 'Enya & James - In The Land Of Magic' and help us spread the word.
Every child has the right to discover the magic in nature.
It is our dream to touch the hearts of many children with this beautiful story so that they too can experience the joys of nature and live their own magical adventures.
Help us reach this dream. We sell the books at cost, but for each copy that you buy, Kids of Nature will donate this book - on your behalf - to a child who otherwise would never get a chance to receive one.
If you are a corporate buyer, you can help us reach even more children by donating this book in bulk to schools or organisations of your choice.
