Ch.7’s Sunday Night program aired last Sunday at 8:30 pm. Did you happen to see the story? If not, feel free to watch the story:
With more viewers tuning in to Ch.7’s Sunday Night story than I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! Finale Night!, this segment has sparked meaningful discussions about a topic close to our hearts: the “nature deficit” in today’s children. Social media has been buzzing, and news channels worldwide have picked up the conversation. Thankfully, 90% of the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive!
While the story presented some thought-provoking insights, I wasn’t entirely on board with the “extreme parenting” angle it chose to highlight. What I hoped for—and feel is more critical—is a focus on the powerful research showing:
The deep connection between children’s mental, physical, and emotional well-being and their time spent in nature.
The value of stepping outside comfort zones in a safe outdoor environment, where kids can learn to analyse risks and navigate challenges.
Encouraging children to explore the outdoors isn’t just about adventure—it’s about equipping them with skills, resilience, and a sense of wonder they’ll carry throughout life.
At MyAdventure Group, we’ve built our programs around these very principles. Our outdoor experiences are designed to help reconnect with nature, push their boundaries in a controlled environment, and develop the critical life skills needed to navigate challenges with confidence.
What’s your take?
Happy adventuring!
