Nature does not steal time, it amplifies it.

Use all of your senses.

The woods were my Ritalin. Nature calmed me, focused me, and yet excited my senses.

Some kids don't want to be organized all the time. They want to let their imaginations run; they want to see where a stream of water takes them.

Mothers tend to be more direct. Fathers talk to other fathers about their kids more metaphorically. It's a different way of communication.

Our kids are actually doing what we told them to do when they sit in front of that TV all day or in front of that computer game all day. The society is telling kids unconsciously that nature's in the past. It really doesn't count anymore, that the future is in electronics, and besides, the bogeyman is in the woods.

Kids are plugged into some sort of electronic medium 44 hours per week.
