Being inside without your own personal outdoor space is really hard when you have energetic kids who love being outdoors, who need plenty of physical activity on a daily basis (as we all do!) and who are naturally inquisitive and fascinated by the natural world. As my children have grown older I have become more and more aware of how important getting outside for exercise is, and while everyone benefits from doing it every day, it can be really hard to motivate yourself. So in this week's episode I'm offering 7 ways I have found to get outside on a regular basis. I talk about... Why breakfast picnics are the greatest way to start the day (when you can be prepared for it!) The pleasure of growing your own vegetables and the surprising benefit to fussy eaters How to do messy and sensory play outdoors when you don't have your own garden The surprising benefit not driving has - and why everyone should sometimes behave as if they don't drive I finish with a musing on whether not having the option to drive naturally forces my children to walk or cycle more simply because they don't have a choice. Although I am very aware of the importance of getting outdoors regularly, especially for children, I am also aware that without a garden I am limited by my mood, energy and time available, and so I am realistic about what can be achieved within these limitations!
