When Learning Comes Naturally profiles school efforts to introduce children to the natural world and to encourage them through exploration and creativity to make a lasting connection to the environment. 'Plants are like a superhero because they help people breathe,' says Lawrence, a seven year old student at Seth Boyden Elementary School in New Jersey. Beyond the immediate benefits to child development, the program documents how meaningful time spent outdoors can cultivate a permanent caring for the natural world, a crucial ethic of environmental responsibility. Produced by Jonathan Diamond Associates in association with the Child Development Institute at Sarah Lawrence College, The Learning Child Series has been created to assist parents and educators in guiding children to become motivated, thoughtful and lifelong learners.
