Awesome article on Nature Play

Came across this today in my online article reading and thought I would share ~ we love the outdoors here and this article just really speaks to me about the reason why we need to spend more time outside with children and allow them some freedom to learn to take risk 'safely' rather than removing all risk from their play entirely!

Children construct their own intelligence. The adult must provide activities and context, but most of all must be able to listen. Children need proof that adults believe in them. Their three great desires are to be listened to, to understand, and to demonstrate that they are exactly what we expect."
