Play

     In our monthly Mom's meeting this year we have been exploring the Importance of Play ,and the impact it has on our children. There are different types of play that help children develope in different ways. Here is an article on free play or risky play. It is quite interesting.

We have also talked about how beneficial getting out in Nature is.

   We have tried to incorporate these two elements in our homeschooling this year. I have found it really helps with my kids attitudes and willingness to work inside when they know that they get to go outside later. The more time my kids spend outside the less time they spend sitting in front of SCREEN. This is the best benefit of it all to me. We love going outside and exercising our brains.
Free play

A little bit of RISKY play
