     One of our biggest fears nowadays is that our kids might some day get lost in a "sea of technology"
rather than experiencing the natural world. Fear-producing TV and computer games are leading to a
serious disconnect between kids and the great outdoors which will changes the wild places of the world
its creatures and human health for the worse unless adults get working on child's play.
     Each of us has a place in nature we go sometimes even if it was torn down. We cannot be the last
generation to have that place. At this rate kids who miss the sense of wonder outdoors will not grow up
to be protectors of natural landscapes. "If the decline in parks use continues across North America who
will defend parks against encroachment (蚕食)?" asks Richard Louv author of Last Child in the Woods.
     Without having a nature experience kids can turn out just fine but they are missing out a huge
enrichment of their lives. That applies to everything from their physical health and mental health to stress
levels creativity and cognitive (认知的) skills. Experts predict modern kids will have poorer health than
their parents-and they say a lack of outside play is surely part of it; research suggests that kids do better
academically in schools with a nature component and that play in nature fosters (培养) leadership by the
smartest not by the toughest. Even a tiny outdoor experience can create wonder in a child. The three-year-
old turning over his first rock realizes he is not alone in the world. A clump of trees on the roadside can be
the whole universe in his eyes. We really need to value that more.
     Kids are not to blame. They are over-protected and frightened. It is dangerous out there from time to
time but repetitive stress from computers is replacing breaking an arm as a childhood rite (仪式) of passage.
     Everyone from developers to schools and outdoorsy citizens should help regain for our kids some of
the freedom and joy of exploring taking friendship in fields and woods that cement (增强) love respect and
need for landscape. As parents we should devote some of our energies to taking our kids into nature. This
could yet be our greatest cause.
