I’ve written a guest post for a wonderful blog written by Melynda Coble Harrison, to inspire parents to get outside with their kids and discover the natural world. Here’s the link to read my post about coaching physical courage in our kids and climbing trees!
I truly feel this could be one of the most important lessons a parent can learn in today's society of overprotective parenting. The simple statement I repeat over and over to parents who continually help their children, climb, get up, get in, get over is; "If a child never falls that same child will never learn to get up" and in the same respect "If a child never learns to pull him or herself up on their own how will they learn that important life lesson" It shows them independence, confidence, limitations and courage!
