What nature teaches children | Nilda Cosco | TEDxRaleigh
Watch this talk if you are interested in the well-being of young children. Children spend most of their waking hours in child care every day where they can play outdoors and learn from nature. Interacting with plants and insects outside is found to be fundamental for children’s health and well-being. In her talk, Cosco will explain the importance of being outdoors as it releases the power of experiential learning and etches lifelong memories of nature.
Nilda Cosco, PhD, is Research Associate Professor, College of Design, and Director of Programs at the Natural Learning Initiative, North Carolina State University. With a background on the psychology of the learning processes and the impact of the built environment on behavior, she shares her experience observing children’s adventures in nature and highlights the power of the outdoors to support child development.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

_"No fear, just wonder"_ - it would be wonderful if every child had this opportunity. Thanks for sharing such an important message!
My mother runs a licensed home daycare and I help her, and people can not believe that we let the children play in the mud… it’s sad

Great!! more and more necessary nowadays!!
We are product of our culture and unfortunately we have evolved in a very unfortunate direction. We are part of nature and our modern ways of living (apart from our parents in unnatural buildings(concrete) ) we become neurotic, depressed and look in the wrong direction for happiness and our health deteriarates as we become more desengaged from nature and our soul. our culture is a way to depression , unhealth and premature death and destruction of other beings(animals, plants)
Great video!
The modern existential crisis has its roots in our separation from the natural world. Get into the woods..... (But don't litter when you're out there...EVER...thanks!)
Amazing
Anyone got the answers to the work sheet on this video?
