The ultimate handbook for raising wilder, happier, muddier, more resilient kids – whatever the weather and wherever you live.<\/b><\/p>\n
In the last few years parents everywhere have realised how crucial the freedom of the outside world is, not only for their kids’ wellbeing, but the whole family’s. They’ve also realised, however, that it’s not always that easy.<\/p>\n
That’s where this book comes in. Taking you through different environments and activities to explore, from minibeasts in the garden and pond dipping all the way through to beach Olympics and sea swimming (via rainy days, wild woods and river exploration), there are ideas small and big for all ages that will get them – and you – more engaged and involved with nature, and the wildlife in it.<\/p>\n
