Last Child in the Woods was a wonderful resource to accompany this course. It really opened my eyes to how times have changed and what can be done to turn back the time. Recently I have found myself referring the book to a few employers whose children are consistently on technology and not outside playing. I have even found myself at work making a greater effort to play outside with the children and getting adults more involved with the outdoors. I even think to myself that getting outside is important for me because of all the benefits that are associated with going outdoors like reducing stress level, and we all known that as a university student life can get very stressful at times!
