In these days of instant everything, with constant bombardment from technology, we are disconnecting from the quiet that comes with being immersed in nature.
Children are missing out on the riches in life that can’t be bought.

Let’s explore nature with our children, and encourage them to have outdoor adventures on their own.
This video is a perfect reminder to let our children be swallowed up by nature.
And isn’t it ironic to be reminded of this through technology?
Plant the seed. Watch it grow.
