How disconnecting from nature affects children and teenagers<\/h2>\n
The profound impacts of nature deprivation on children’s and teenagers’ physical, emotional, and social health led journalist Richard Louv to coin the term Nature-Deficit Disorder, introduced in his book *Last Child in the Woods*<\/a>. <\/p>\n Among the harmful effects of this disconnection are increased sedentary behavior, anxiety, depression, and delays in cognitive and emotional development. <\/p>\n According to Maria Isabel, we are witnessing an epidemic of childhood myopia, linked to the lack of opportunities to gaze at the horizon. One-third of Brazilian children are overweight or obese. \u201cSports are not the only way for children to engage in physical activities. When they play outdoors, they move naturally, and that represents an important way to stay healthy.\u201d <\/p>\n Another physical issue caused by excessive screen time is its impact on children’s and teenagers’ posture. <\/p>\n Children today are more hyperactive and less focused, affecting their sleep, increasing irritability, and weakening social bonds, since outdoor play is more creative. <\/p>\n Psychologist, neuropsychologist, and Ph.D. in Sciences from the USP School of Medicine, Andrea Lorena da Costa Stravogiannis, highlights that excessive screen use causes delays in cognitive development, especially in children’s social interactions. \u201cThe more time spent on screens, the less social repertoire a child develops, as it is a passive activity.\u201d <\/p>\n The acquisition of language and the ability to focus are also impacted. \u201cBeing glued to screens limits children’s vocabulary and makes it harder for them to read books or engage in activities that require greater concentration,\u201d explains Andrea. <\/p>\n Lack of interaction with nature can increase the risk of mental health issues, including anxiety and depression. \u201cSince the 1980s, children have increasingly been raised in a protective bubble, distancing themselves from outdoor play. From 2010 onward, with everyone connected to their smartphones, mental health deteriorated significantly, leading to issues like self-harm, depression, and suicide attempts,\u201d says Andreas Martin, Executive Director of Outward Bound Brasil (OBB), an NGO that is part of a global network of Outdoor Experiential Learning Schools. <\/p>\n This new\u2014and troubling\u2014reality has forced OBB, which arrived in Brazil in 2000, to rethink some of the practices in its programs. \u201cWe noticed that we can no longer use the same distances and weights as we did ten years ago. Today, young people have less physical endurance and resilience. They are also emotionally weaker and get frustrated more easily.\u201d <\/p>\n In his book, Richard Louv also argues that nature experiences are essential for healthy development, both emotionally and physically. <\/p>\n The simplest activities, such as playing in a park with soil, sand, and other natural elements, not only promote physical and mental well-being but also stimulate creativity, imagination, social integration, and help prevent anxiety and depression. <\/p>\n \u201cWhen we take our bodies into nature, we bring them to the environment they were designed for. Since the mid-1980s, the Japanese have studied what happens physiologically when we walk in a park or go into a forest. All stress indicators, cortisol levels, blood pressure, and heart rate decrease,\u201d says Andreas, from OBB. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The real and challenging experiences lived in nature have the potential to unlock the full potential of children, teenagers, and adults, and Outward Bound is a global reference on the subject.<\/p>\n Founded in 1944, it is present in 35 countries and serves approximately 150,000 people annually. Its founder, Kurt Hahn, was a pioneer of experiential education, combining education and training to develop young people holistically. \u201cHe said, as early as 1920, that teenagers possess far more skills and abilities than society allows them to develop,\u201d explains Andreas Martin. <\/p>\n In Brazil, OBB has already reached more than 24,000 people. The experiential learning cycle methodology starts with experience in nature. First comes the challenge, then the theory. \u201cWe explain what needs to be done and let children and teenagers do it. There will be mistakes, successes, and attempts until they get it right. In my opinion, experiential education is powerful precisely because you are immersed in the experience. When you connect emotions with learning, the process happens faster and more deeply,\u201d explains Andreas. <\/p>\n In OBB programs, after challenging experiences in nature that help develop interpersonal skills, there is a reflection moment based on the facts and emotions experienced. \u201cIf we worked well as a team and communicated effectively, now it is a fact: we can do it. How can we take this experience to school, the workplace, the community, and family life?\u201d <\/p>\n Marina Mello, OBB\u2019s school programs coordinator, explains that through experiential learning, it becomes easier to understand emotions. \u201cAfter helping a friend who was panicking during a nature activity, forming a connection with them, a child understands compassion and empathy. They can even point out on their body where they felt that emotion, just like fear and anger. The body experience precedes understanding.\u201d <\/p>\n For Marina, being in nature is a facilitator for developing socio-emotional skills, something that can be difficult to achieve in schools due to rules and time constraints. \u201cNature shields us from urban time; it creates a bubble. There, the only thing that matters is what I am doing at that moment. The experiences are real: I feel fear when I see a mountain, I think I can\u2019t climb it, but when I reach the top, I discover that I was capable. Nature gives you this feedback naturally.\u201d <\/p>\n During the OBB Kids program, designed for families with children aged 3 to 6, parents are naturally encouraged to reflect on how the lack of outdoor experiences impacts their children\u2019s development. \u201cOn the first day, they stay very close, watching over their children during the hike. On the second day, children become more independent, as parents themselves feel more relaxed. They take part in acqua trekking, walking through a creek where the water can reach their waists,\u201d says Andreas. <\/p>\n The free experimentation process changes parents’ perceptions of their children’s abilities. \u201cThey realize that instead of telling children what to do, they can let them experience it, offering support when needed and encouraging them to try overcoming obstacles. During free playtime, children decide what they want to do, exercising their autonomy.\u201d <\/p>\n Eric Fonseca and his 6-year-old daughter, Luiza, participated in OBB Kids. His initial goal was simply to fulfill his daughter\u2019s wish to go camping, but the experience far exceeded his expectations. \u201cIn a short time, interacting with other children and nature, Luiza was already comfortable, eager to explore the environment. When she saw a vine, she not only wanted to try swinging on it, but she also showed it to other children, who then formed a line to take turns.\u201d <\/p>\n In another memorable moment, Eric saw Luiza’s insecurity transform into joy. \u201cWe had to cross a small river section. At first, she was hesitant, but soon she was smiling, screaming, and jumping into the water, signaling that she felt safe and completely at ease.\u201d <\/p>\n Eric also highlights the deep bond formed with his daughter during the experience, in addition to her growing sense of autonomy as he watched her help set up the tent, explore the trail, and interact with the campfire. \u201cI stood back and observed her adding wood to the fire, discovering that stones can put out flames. When we returned from the camp, Luiza was already leading the construction of a campfire with her cousins.\u201d <\/p>\n Andreas explains that in another program, Pais & Filhos<\/em>, aimed at families with children between 7 and 14 years old, only the children and teenagers receive instruction on orientation and navigation techniques. \u201cThis way, we reverse the roles of who guides whom. We do the same with food preparation: the children cook for the parents.\u201d<\/p>\n The role reversal awakens parents’ awareness that it is possible to delegate tasks, giving their children more autonomy and allowing them to experiment freely. \u201cThe reactions are surprising when parents see their children hiking through the woods, overcoming challenges, cooking, carrying weight. If they\u2019re handling it so well with limited resources, imagine how much of an impact that has when they return to the urban environment,\u201d says Andreas.<\/p>\n A crucial issue highlighted by Maria Isabel from the Instituto Alana is the emotional bond that children form with nature and open spaces from an early age. \u201cStudies clearly show that children who grow up playing outdoors carry a lifelong commitment to environmental conservation. Faced with socio-environmental crises, we need to foster this connection. We only preserve what we know, and we only know it by experiencing it firsthand.\u201d <\/p>\n Marina Mello shares the same view: \u201cWe suffer from nature blindness. Before, I would look at a forest and just see trees. With these experiences, we learn to see and appreciate things that were always there but that we hadn\u2019t noticed before. This creates a different kind of care, which naturally translates into our daily lives.\u201d <\/p>\n One of the experiences that impacts participants in OBB programs is the awareness of the amount of waste we generate. \u201cIt\u2019s one thing to see pictures of landfills in textbooks, but it\u2019s completely different to carry your own waste during expeditions. In nature, young people learn to reduce waste, handle it properly, clean and dry contaminated waste before recycling, and compact what must be carried until the journey\u2019s end,\u201d says Marina. <\/p>\n OBB offers a variety of programs, but the mission remains the same: to awaken people’s potential through challenging nature experiences and help them see themselves differently. \u201cOne of the biggest barriers to personal growth is a lack of self-belief. When you shift this mindset, you enter a virtuous cycle of development,\u201d says Andreas Martins. <\/p>\n OBB Kids:<\/strong> Designed for families with children aged 3 to 6, this program offers a weekend camping experience in a beautiful forest just an hour from S\u00e3o Paulo city. <\/p>\n Parents & Children:<\/strong> A camping experience for families with children aged 7 to 14, in Brazil’s breathtaking natural landscapes. <\/p>\n OBB GO!:<\/strong> Created for preteens aged 11 to 14, this is a safe and fun introduction to outdoor experiential learning. \u201cIt\u2019s a five-day program during the holidays, featuring climbing, trekking, canyoning, and canoeing,\u201d says Andreas. <\/p>\n OBB Challenge:<\/strong> Targeted at teenagers aged 15 to 18, the OBB Challenge is a bold and transformative experience in outdoor learning. The program consists of 10 days in the Papagaio Mountain Range. <\/p>\n OBB also offers exclusive programs for adults, as well as projects aimed at companies, schools, and NGOs. Gear Tips Club subscribers have exclusive discounts on OBB programs<\/a>.<\/p>\n When children grow up in a nature-rich environment, they develop a lifelong connection to the outdoors, inspiring other families to follow the same path. Here are three initiatives that have turned personal nature experiences into transformative opportunities for families. <\/p>\n Isabela Abreu combined her love for nature with her professional experience and motherhood to create Natureza de Crian\u00e7a<\/a>. Her goal is to help families with children experience unforgettable adventures in Brazil\u2019s most stunning natural locations, such as the states of Amazon and Maranh\u00e3o. <\/p>\n During her career, Isabela worked for a luxury travel agency, taking people to remote locations in Brazil. She also became a certified instructor at OBB, where she helped create the OBB Kids program after the birth of her daughter, Clara, in 2011. <\/p>\n \u201cThe outdoor world has always been part of my life, and I wanted it to be part of Clara\u2019s as well. I wanted her to experience camping, playing, paddling\u2014everything I already loved doing in nature. I began creating opportunities for her to have these experiences, inviting friends to join in. Over time, this gained momentum and spread by word of mouth.\u201d <\/p>\n All Natureza de Crian\u00e7a itineraries are designed by Isabela, who has been visiting these destinations for over 20 years, building meaningful relationships with local communities. \u201cAt Natureza de Crian\u00e7a, we bring together groups of children and adults to experience authentic interactions with people in remote locations. It\u2019s a unique experience.\u201d <\/p>\n One of the programs offered in the Amazon is a community-based tourism trip in the Tumbira Community. \u201cWe gather families who want to take their children out of their urban bubble and immerse them in a variety of activities with local children from river communities.\u201d The same approach is applied in the state of Maranh\u00e3o, in Santo Amaro do Maranh\u00e3o. <\/p>\n \u201cWe don\u2019t travel just to admire nature\u2019s beauty. We genuinely value people\u2019s beauty as well. In the Amazon, we stay in simple lodges. In Maranh\u00e3o, we sleep in hammocks for a night in the National Park. These elements attract families who resonate with this style of travel.\u201d <\/p>\n For Isabela, stepping out of the urban bubble helps children understand that Brazil is much bigger than the big cities and school routines. The connection with local communities fosters values about what truly matters. \u201cWe have the opportunity to see that these communities live simply, in houses made of exposed brick, and that\u2019s perfectly fine. We don\u2019t need to have everything to feel good. People are deeply moved by this experience. It\u2019s not tourism just to see, but to live.\u201d <\/p>\n As a Waldorf mother, Isabela has always engaged in hands-on crafts and learned the importance of these experiences for children\u2019s cognitive development. Today, all Natureza de Crian\u00e7a programs include some form of manual activity using natural elements, such as building small boats and creating nature art panels. <\/p>\n Another key aspect of Natureza de Crian\u00e7a programs is stimulating all the senses. \u201cWhen we\u2019re on a trail, we ask children to feel the texture of the leaves, observe how each side is different, hug a tree, and smell the moss. It\u2019s not just about vision\u2014all senses play a role in a child’s connection with nature,\u201d says Isabela, who is also the founder of an NGO for visually impaired individuals. <\/p>\n Discover all the programs by Natureza de Crian\u00e7a on their website<\/a>. <\/p>\n Cria Outdoor<\/a> was born organically. The couple Marcela and Fernando Ten\u00f3rio Barros were already avid adventurers, and mountain expeditions had always been part of their life together. When they found out they were expecting Gabi, they decided to continue exploring nature, hiking, and camping. <\/p>\n \u201cOver time, we realized that children can be anywhere. We traveled extensively across Brazil, including remote areas, and even did some international trips. As we crossed deserts and villages, we saw mothers with children and homes with children\u2019s clothes hanging on clotheslines. That\u2019s when we decided to carry Gabi in a baby carrier for the first six months of her life, taking her on hikes and mountain treks. In fact, she was the first baby ever to reach many of these places,\u201d says Marcela. <\/p>\n Fernando and Marcela, who were already sharing their nature experiences on Instagram with friends and family, soon caught the attention of other families who had the same purpose. \u201cThey wanted to go mountaineering with us to understand how to navigate these environments with a baby or young child,\u201d explains Marcela, who now has two daughters. <\/p>\n The couple then began forming small groups and brought in environmental engineer Pedro Nogueira, an expert in working with children in nature. That\u2019s how Cria Outdoor was officially founded in 2022, after several successful group experiences. \u201cThe best way to show families that it\u2019s possible to continue adventuring after having children was to take them by the hand and guide them into nature with us. We professionalized ourselves to follow this path,\u201d says Fernando. <\/p>\n Since its inception, Cria Outdoor has been committed to showing families that mountaineering and connecting children with nature go far beyond physical and emotional benefits. These experiences strengthen family bonds and improve relationships between couples. Marcela shares that she has also received testimonials from many women who experienced personal empowerment after becoming mothers, feeling at their full potential while connected to nature with their children. <\/p>\n Cria Outdoor offers traditional weekend and holiday itineraries to Ilhabela, Itatiaia, and Paraty, as well as special routes to destinations like Patagonia (Argentina), Mount Roraima, and Chapada Diamantina, which require a longer duration. \u201cThese are places we already knew and believed had the potential to provide incredible experiences for families, even though they are not traditionally considered destinations for babies and children,\u201d explains Fernando. <\/p>\n In addition to Cria Outdoor, Marcela runs the \u201cL\u00e1 Fora com Eles\u201d community on WhatsApp, which brings together families from all over Brazil and even other countries. The message exchanges in the group have already led to in-person meetups. At a hotel in Itatiaia, 100 people gathered, including children, babies, and adults, proving that the search for a connection with nature is a growing trend for all ages. <\/p>\n When Bia Carvalho and Edinho Ramon met, they quickly realized they shared two passions: outdoor sports and a love for nature. Together, they launched the Sua Casa \u00e9 o Mundo blog to share their outdoor experiences. Later, they created an Instagram profile<\/a>. From there, the couple began producing films, conducting research, and writing scientific articles on socio-emotional development through nature exposure, eventually publishing a book. \u201cWe\u2019ve always shared our experiences as a form of encouragement, showing that nature adventures are possible for everyone,\u201d says Bia. <\/p>\n When Maya, the couple\u2019s daughter, was born in 2020, Bia and Edinho continued their nature-based lifestyle, introducing their daughter to outdoor adventures from infancy. <\/p>\n After presenting a study at the Scientific Mountain Climbing Symposium<\/a> and participating in a discussion with families about the lack of children in outdoor activities, they came up with the idea of forming a small group to take kids to the mountains. \u201cThe Mini Mountaineers group started on WhatsApp, with parents and classmates from Maya\u2019s school, and it worked so well that it expanded to other families. We realized that all families needed was a little encouragement to feel confident, and that\u2019s exactly what the group provides,\u201d says Bia. <\/p>\n Today, the Mini Mountaineers group<\/a> has around 200 members, and monthly meetups are held for free in Rio de Janeiro, always in familiar locations chosen by the couple. <\/p>\n In addition to the monthly hikes, Mini Mountaineers organizes a nature trip every semester to a mountain destination. \u201cDuring our last meetup, we gathered 20 families at Tr\u00eas Picos State Park, where there were few lodges and a camping area. We had a campfire circle, hiked 9 km of trails, played, and cooked together. Everyone was connected, but each person experienced nature in their own way. In just one year, our group grew from three to twenty families,\u201d celebrates Bia. <\/p>\n On Gear Tips, you\u2019ll find a series of articles about children in nature, written by Edinho Ramon<\/a>. In addition, on Gear Tips Club Academy, subscribers have full access to the online course Inf\u00e2ncia Outdoor<\/a>, developed by Bia and Edinho, which aims to promote nature as a space of discovery, offering resources that contribute to child development.<\/p>\n OBB develops a series of programs aimed at people who don\u2019t have easy access to green areas, national and state parks. \u201cThere\u2019s huge potential among people in these communities who were just waiting for an opportunity to recognize themselves, and from that point on, start to face life differently, be bolder, seek more resources, and not give up so quickly,\u201d says Andreas.<\/p>\n Azimute Program:<\/strong> free and designed for young people in situations of social and\/or economic vulnerability. The goal is to support them in overcoming life and work challenges by offering the opportunity to develop their own projects, strengthen personal, social, cognitive, and productive skills, and inspire them to become agents of social transformation.<\/p>\n Entorno Project:<\/strong> focused on high school students who live in regions of great natural beauty, such as S\u00e3o Bento do Sapuca\u00ed. They go on expeditions to understand that working in nature is also a career opportunity. Young people who participate in the Entorno Project have greater employability in their town, helping reduce rural exodus in these small communities.<\/p>\n In addition, OBB runs a program in partnership with the Jo\u00e3o Clemente Institute, focused on young people and adults with intellectual disabilities. It is a stationary program conducted in a controlled area to work on self-esteem and independence.<\/p>\n In Natureza de Crian\u00e7a<\/em>, Isabela Abreu runs an inclusive program that brings together children with and without visual impairments. On a day of outdoor activities in a nature reserve in the Atlantic Forest, they share experiences, learn to paddle, swim in the river, hike through the forest, listen to storytelling, and engage in other playful activities in nature.<\/p>\n The program is endorsed by the Ministry of Citizenship and supported by the Sports Incentive Law. These experiences take place a few times a year, depending on funding.<\/p>\n Although families play a crucial role in encouraging children and teenagers to connect with nature, schools also have a major responsibility in providing these experiences. \u201cWe often place all the responsibility on families, but at Instituto Alana, we believe that\u2019s the wrong approach. Many sectors should and can take action, including schools,\u201d says Maria Isabel. <\/p>\n A study conducted by Instituto Alana asked families where their children experience activities like climbing trees, making mud pies, and building forts with branches. The answer was unanimous: at school! \u201cFamilies expect schools to provide opportunities for interaction and play, because once children are back home, it\u2019s much harder\u2014there\u2019s less time, fewer social interactions, and little access to outdoor spaces. These experiences need to happen daily,\u201d explains Maria Isabel. <\/p>\n One of the key initiatives at Instituto Alana is helping schools rethink their outdoor spaces, making them more natural and incorporating challenging activities. \u201cWe work to naturalize schoolyards, which not only benefits the children but also the schools themselves, as they need to adapt to climate challenges, such as increasing heat waves.\u201d <\/p>\n Another crucial aspect for schools, according to Maria Isabel, is redefining pedagogical practices, removing unnecessary barriers, and maximizing outdoor learning time. Schools can even adopt public parks and squares as part of an integral education approach. <\/p>\n For pedagogue Marina Mello, using natural resources to foster child and youth development is essential. \u201cIt\u2019s important to move beyond just academics and cognitive learning and recognize life as a convergence of multiple elements, with cognition being just one part of the whole. At our main school, we have jabuticaba (Brazilian fruit) and mango trees and plenty of green space.\u201d <\/p>\n In Singapore, Outward Bound programs are part of the Ministry of Education. The government\u2019s goal is to ensure that every high school student participates in at least one five-day outdoor program. \u201cSingapore has a strong culture of investing in people, not only academically but also in socio-emotional development. Every year, around 50,000 students take part in these programs,\u201d says Andreas. <\/p>\n In Brazil, OBB runs programs in schools and universities, aiming to enhance teamwork, foster respect for differences, and reduce student anxiety levels through nature immersion. The NGO also develops projects for public schools, with funding from companies interested in supporting children and youth development. <\/p>\nPhysical impacts of nature deprivation<\/h3>\n
