How to grow adventurous children - with GoWildGoWest

We loved chatting with Georgie Duckworth from GoWildGoWest last week on how to raise adventurous children.

We talked about:

- The need for unstructured play outdoors but also having activities that parents can join in with

- school run adventures and worrying less about being on time (thanks for this Georgie!)

- Snail racing, waking up for the dawn chorus, welly wanging and other ideas for time outdoors

- @gowildgowest adventure Packs (for sale on the website- great for primary ages children)

- How much freedom and risk (the never ending parental balance)

Check out the GoWildGoWest site.

We also listed our favourite resources of the moment: @1000hoursoutside the podcast attached to this is consistently excellent
