Happy Eggs Help Inspire Children to Take More Notice of the World Around Them PR Newswire LINCOLN, England, August 17, 2012 LINCOLN, England, August 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Numerous studies have been conducted into the long-term effects a lack of outdoor play and dissociation from nature can have on children. Those brought up in urban areas are more likely to suffer from high levels of stress, a higher risk of ADHD and decreased motor fitness. Being disconnected from nature may also lead to a lack of understanding of where food comes from which could contribute to poor eating habits and obesity. As bonkers as it sounds, a recently study published in the Daily Mail showed that 1 in 10 young adults believed that eggs were in fact a wheat or maize-based product. There may not be an easy solution, but one person with an answer is Madeline McRanor founder of the happy chick co., an organisation which brings nature direct to the classroom by delivering fertilized eggs to nurseries and schools just prior to hatching. the happy chick co., which has recently renewed its partnership with the happy egg co., seeks to provide inner-city kids with an enlightening journey that leads them to form meaningful connection to the natural world and teaches them to appreciate more vividly and enduringly how life comes to be. "I've seen first-hand how caring for a chick - even for a short time - can inspire the young to take more notice of the natural world around them.
