Learning Walks
20 Awesome Walks that Will Develop Your Child More than 200 Hours at School
Are you looking to spend your walks with your child to benefit their development? To boost their critical thinking? To help them SEE UNUSUAL in common things? To foster their creativity as you go for a seemingly mundane walk or while you are grabbing a cup of coffee? Help them look for root cause of phenomena around them?
Here is an example: You are picking up mail together, and your child doesn't want to go, it's a frustrating walk, and the last thing from fun. Now let's re-write the scenario: You're going on an exciting adventure where you tell them about the world's first mailbox that happened to be in a boot (real story) and then do some fun filled, yet educational activities and play related to mail, including a creative thinking exercise that you can add to your piggy bank and use for other subjects in the future.
These 20 learning walks are filled with so much fun and learning that they will easily substitute for 200 classes. Your kids will learn about living vs. nonliving things, animals, birds, trees, twigs, bees, water, boats and floating, sky, clouds, homes, recycling, and so much more. But it's way ahead of traditional classroom learning. We process and retain information that we receive empirically much better than knowledge we get from textbooks or a lecture. We won’t load them with facts that their brain won’t retain. Instead, through my approach incorporating STEAM, TRIZ (a methodology used in tech for creative problem solving), and even coaching exercises, we will learn to ask deep questions, share meaningful observations and hypotheses, and work on their ability to think systemically, notice how everything around them is intertwined, and encourage imagination. Moreover, through sharing ideas and fostering deep bonding and meaningful connection we will help them think and play independently! By spending 15-20 minutes quality time and focusing on your child, we are providing them creative ideas that will help them play independently afterwards much longer than usual.
If you are a parent or caregiver with kids anywhere between 3 and 9 and you are looking to spend some quality time with them fostering growth, education, fun, deepening your connection, sparking their creativity, imagination, critical thinking, and independence - get the Learning Walks now to ensure a great summertime or get your first walk for free to launch your kids and yourself on this exciting adventure!
Expectations VS Reality
It can be very challenging for us when our expectations and reality clash against each other. We hope to have a fun peaceful walk and end up dragging a whining child, frustrated and exasperated ourselves that we can't have some peace and quiet. Try our Learning Walks and see how your outside routine transforms in a few days and your children will start coming up with ideas for new walks and stories themselves! Moreover, it will likely positive affect your relationship overall!
