Abstract
Research has shown the value of exposure to nature and specifically children playing outdoors. With the growth of technology and mobile devices, children and adults are often less active outdoors. As digital addiction continues to rise, a common response is promoting the value of the outdoors and going device free. This chapter provides research and recommendations on smartphone addiction and treatment options, as well as, the benefits of the outdoors. The chapter specifically focuses on a variety of approaches, movements, and campaigns for treating smartphone addiction through outdoor activity. Results of these options and limitations of current research will also be presented.
