Sir David Attenborough emphasizes the importance of connecting children with nature in his upcoming series of *Planet Earth*. At 97 years old, Attenborough will broadcast this new series at an earlier time, 6:15 PM, on Sunday, allowing younger audiences to engage with it. This change signifies his commitment to fostering a love for the natural world in children.
Understanding the World Through Children’s Eyes
Attenborough believes that children possess an “instinctive understanding” of the natural environment. He notes that young ones, particularly those aged five to six, observe behaviors in nature, such as insects and bees, with great interest. Their natural curiosity presents an opportunity for adults to learn from them.
Encouraging Exploration of Nature
Parents are encouraged to provide children with the chance to discover nature actively. Attenborough asserts that children excel in understanding natural phenomena. He urges adults to create more opportunities for kids to explore and appreciate the environment.

A Call to Action for Parents
Attenborough’s message is clear: nurturing a child’s connection to nature is essential. Adults should prioritize outdoor experiences that encourage curiosity and learning. By doing so, we foster a deeper understanding of the world around us.
The upcoming series aims not only to entertain but also to educate viewers about the richness and diversity of our planet. Through the eyes of children, Attenborough hopes to inspire a new appreciation for the natural world.
