THIS VERSION CONTAINS THE FULL CONTENT. Written by a teacher who runs immersion programs for children on her organic farm, this book will convince you that you have the right to bring your children back from ‘virtual land’ in order to foster a healthy childhood for them. Parents and teachers will find practical advice on how to launch their children as capable, balanced and curious human beings that have wherewithal, are other-centered, and can take initiatives. The take home message is that if children spend too much time on screens, they will lose out on interacting with their environments in meaningful ways. This will stunt their development. Conversely, if children do chores guided by grownups or play creatively, they will develop important life skills. We hope it will help you to see kids’ learning processes in a new light.
