An agile guide in which the author adopts a multidisciplinary and ecosophical perspective, that is, she attempts to put humans and nature back in balance, with the aim of enhancing the needs of all children between 0 and 10 years of age. She does so by taking into account Natural Educational Needs (NEN), defined by the author herself as those educational needs that can be defined as natural because they are innate and transcultural, indispensable and transversal to educational spaces.

After having identified the scientific and experiential bases of the concept of NEN, the volume presents the theoretical principles necessary to understand the link between play and learning during the growth period.

The guide is enriched by the story of a series of experiences from which reflections on current issues can arise.
