Interesting that "researchers" are now making this connection. It has always been so obvious to me. When I was in college, I wrote a term paper for Intro to Education class, on the importance of integrating nature into childhood education. That was in 1974. The prof happened to be also a elementary school principal. He took me seriously and added a one hour weekly nature walk for third grade level. I was thrilled, though I saw it as inadequate. I realize he had to start at that level. I've always wondered how it panned out.

Hi Deneen It is easy and simple. Just write FREE HUGS on a piece of cardboard and then go into any public space and hold it up and smile and see what happens. Hugs from my heart to yours. Kristin
