Climbing Trees
Dear Mama,
Today in #outdoorschool, I want to@discuss the benefits of allowing your children to climb trees.
One way to enhance your child’s outdoor experience is to let them climb trees and encourage this activity.
When children climb trees, they can make risk assessments and test their own abilities. The skill of tree climbing is a stepping stone for bigger risks as they get older.
As children climb trees, they learn how to check branches for stability. Their confidence grows, and so does their muscular strength.
I also feel like our imaginations grow when we climb trees. I remember climbing trees as a child and pretending all kinds of things.
To learn more about the benefits of children in the outdoors, check out the “ Balanced and Barefoot by Angela J. Hanscom.
Do you allow your children to climb trees?
Warmly,
Mirley
