Nature Deficit Disorder

The public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County chooses a book each month for community reading and June's book is called Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children From Nature Deficit Disorder by Richard Louv. In it, Louv argues that children in today's American society are growing up deprived of the experience of the outdoors for various reasons (society obsession with electronics, changing educational standards, etc.). In addition, he cites reasons for rekindling a connection with nature and the benefits to children that come with an exposure to nature.

But what do you think? Is there a "nature deficit disorder?" Should it be rectified? Is there any other way to learn the lessons that nature can teach?
