"Nature - Deficit Disorder"

I read an interesting article on the cbmw (Council for Biblical Manhood & Womanhood) blog. Clickhere to read. I can remember growing up on a dead-end street with the woods next to me. Most of my free time as a young child, I remember spending riding bikes, climbing trees, and exploring the woods next to our house. It was a world all to its own. Thankfully, my children have a wonderful wooded paradise in our backyard that we like to call "Pooh's Hundred Acre Woods". But I admit that somewhat too frequently I have to send the children outside as opposed to pleading with them to come inside. It is a shame that technology, although a blessing, can also be a curse to steal the innocent delights of childhood from our kids.
