In essence,humans and nature coexist,co-present,and co-evolve.Children are conceived in and are an organic part of nature;the relationship between children and nature is characterized by a primordial ″mother-child″ and ″you-me″ connection.However,with the deepening processes of industrialization,urbanization,and informatization,children′s living spaces and modes have undergone tremendous and increasingly rapid transformations.Consequently,children are gradually exhibiting symptoms of nature-deficit disorder,including a decline in naturalistic concepts,a lack of embodied experiences,and an alienation from natural affinities,making nature education an urgent imperative.The primary educational pathways to fundamentally address children′s nature-deficitdisorder lie in three aspects:creating natural environments within schools canfacilitate meaningful encounters between children and nature,awakening their innate natural tendencies;organizing planting activities allows children to participate in the growth of natural organisms,enabling them to ″become nature″;and guiding children into wilderness settings can help them release their most primal natural forces,reintegrating them as organic components of nature.Thereby,the primordial relationship between children and nature can be restored.
