Deficit: Lack, not enough

• Kids who didn't spend much time in nature when they were young have a harder time noticing small things, which makes them less creative and less connected to nature as adults.
• Spending too much time on screens instead of being outside can change how kids think about and care for nature when they grow up.

• 小时候没有花太多时间接触大自然的孩子更难注意到小事情，这使得他们成年后创造力较差，与自然的联系也较少。
