RE: So much of confusion and chaos with Children
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
This a very scary scenario working in mental health. I feel we are creating a role-identification crisis for our kids. Due to such an authoritarian childhood and schooling system, kids can't explore and develop their relationship with nature (hugely important). Secondly, they don't have the opportunity to develop social interactions and develop their character due to media pressures and forced conformity to social pressures. Add in some gentle body shaming jargon and you disguise your problem as something else and have a massively divided community, easy to control and get self-policing. We are entering very worrying times 🙏🏽

You bet, they are so much disconnected from the nature. If you take them out in nature they easily get bored, never can see the beauty in it and get hooked on to their gadgets. It is a seriously worrying time, where probably we will end up with two extreme sides and the ones who will be close to nature and real life I am sure the numbers are going to be much lesser.
I work as an occupational therapist in mental health, and the results from doing my session in nature are astounding. After two years of being room-based, I have clients engaging in a few months by running my sessions in nature. Yet this therapy is not promoted, basically because it's not profitable. This makes me feel ashamed of my involvement in the service, it's so sad. I plan to go it alone once I can work out a way around the red tape 🙏🏽 🌱
