I love to go to the park with the kids. It provides a great environment for them to explore new skills and sensations. We have started going to a new park that has a lot of kinetic activities, a flying fox, spider web swing, see saw etc. It also means that I am always involved in what they are exploring and truly connecting with them. Yes...is also means I have to do all the pushing. I try to see it as incidental exercise.
Has anyone noticed that when the prospect of something fun, like the park, is about to happen kids find within themselves the ability to tie their own laces and fill their own water bottle and collect their own hats so that they can get their faster? Nothing like a bit of motivation to encourage independant skills.
