RE: Reflections on Motherhood and the Importance of Raising Kids in Nature

Lovely post @schoonercreek, my kids are outdoors almost everyday, they climb trees, build dens, rescue many unicorns and dragons. They eat the fruit from the trees and come to me completely filthy and happy. I have learned so much from my kids and even though I have always felt a huge connection to the earth they have increased that.

They sometimes go up the mountains to a creative hub where they play, make music, create monsters and art. For me it's so important to trust your children, they know what they need, If we step in too much we prevent them from learning for themselves. They are so capable, we are here when they need us, but they need to be allowed to realize how their best learning comes from within them, within nature. You do the best that you can do, no one is perfect or needs to be. I think it's really important that our children see us accepting who we are, because that is a huge lesson in itself. It sounds like you are doing a fine job x

@trucklife-family Thank you for this thoughtful comment. I love hearing how your kids are, I think ours would get along quite well! How old are yours? Have yall ever played the game "Dragonwood"? Mine love it for inside on rainy days...

I'm sure they would. they'd probably look at one another for a little bit then their would be no stopping them. I have 3 girls, 5, 8 and 9 months, would love to know about Dragonwood the name itself sounds great my 2 eldest love anything to do with Dragons.

It is a card/board game, its pretty fun!! Thats great mine are 3 and 8...
