Mother Nature's Child

Tuesday, September 27th

6:30 pm - Outdoor Community Social

7:00 pm - Documentary Showing followed by Panel Discussion

 

Mother Nature's Child explores nature's powerful role in children's health and development through the experience of toddlers, children in middle childhood and adolescents. The film marks a moment in time when a living generation can still recall childhoods of free play outdoors; this will not be true for most children growing up today. The effects of "nature deficit disorder" are now being noted across the country in epidemics of child obesity, attention disorders, and depression.

Mother Nature's Child asks the questions: 

  • Why do children need unstructured time outside? 
  • What is the place of risk-taking in healthy child development? 
  • How is play a form of learning? 
  • How can city kids connect with nature? 
  • What does it mean to educate the 'whole' child?

The Third Place



The Third Place is a place other than 1st, home or 2nd, work where people can go to meet and feel part of a community.

We offer families in the Silicon Valley an opportunity to come together for innovative workshops, presentations, and discussion groups. These non-sectarian programs are supported by Christ Episcopal Church and Ventana School and are open to the community.
