I also read an article this winter about Active Kids Club- they advocate active childhood in the great outdoors in all kinds of weather. Their belief is that we as parents have the power to ensure outdoor play for our children. Children have the right to be exposed to the great outdoors from a early age. The outdoors can be anything, from more hardcore activities like skiing to just playing in your backyard or your local park.
What can Active Kids Club do for you? They provide information and hopefully inspire parents and children about what one can do outside in all seasons. They believe in using nature to expose children with “safe risk” outside in all kinds of weather.
So my neighbours - I challenge you to get out with your children. Yeah, it is easier now with the warm weather but....... when it rains ask yourself why can't we put on our raincoats/boots and splash in the rain? (I bought my first grown up rainboots when my first son was two). When winter comes again remember you too can throw on the long johns and snow pants to make a snow angel with your kiddies.
