Abstract
Nature and the natural world are important for the well-being of humans, a position that has been acknowledged in research within various disciplines. Research has also shown humans are alienated from nature, which is of great concern, especially for children, whose well-being should be society's top priority. Child–computer interaction (CCI) research is among the disciplines that should examine nature and natural rhythm in children's lives from the perspective of digital technology. We build a multidisciplinary theoretical framework on nature and natural rhythm with which to review the extant CCI literature. We discuss the state of the art and identify paths for future work. We show that in CCI research, being in nature and catering to nature have been addressed, while less attention has been paid to children being part of nature and its natural rhythm. We discuss how CCI research and design can acknowledge and better support such aspects.
