If you live in a big city, you may have noticed new buildings popping up — a high-rise here, a skyscraper there.

Do you have a daredevil toddler? I do!

When you say, “Be careful,” you do not help a child learn anything about the risk in the given situation, never mind how to manage that risk.

The importance of outdoor education

Outdoor, play-based learning is a proven way to give children a solid foundation and love of education and nature.

According to Scientific American, “Nearly all developmental psychologists, neuroscientists and education experts recommend play for kids 0-7 as the best way to nurture development and ready them for academic success later in life.”

It’s also been shown that 80+% of brain development occurs before the age of five. Foundation skills built in those first 5 years will affect learning for the rest of their life.
