The outdoors is the very best place for preschoolers to practice and master
emerging physical skills. It is in the outdoors that children can fully and
freely experience motor skills like running, leaping, and jumping.
Who knew playing with a sheet could be so much fun!
When parents think back to their own childhoods, chances are some
of their fondest memories are of outdoor places and activities. (I know most of mine are!)
When we show an appreciation for the great outdoors, the children in our lives
will follow our lead.
Almost half of preschool children aren't taken outside
to play by their parents on a daily basis.....
Next time when you take your children to a park or beach, allow them to explore. Let them decide which trails to take. Stay nearby for safety, but don't interfere or help unless asked.
