"Active free play outdoors promotes healthy sensory and motor development in children. The outdoors awakens and rejuvenates the mind and engages all the senses at once."

Like so many parents all over the country, I've been doing a lot of thinking about our summer plans lately. And as my kids are growing into more independent human beings, and I sort through the

myriad of summer opportunities available to them, my instinct, over and over, keeps bringing me back to the very principle Angela Hanscom discusses in Balanced and Barefoot: our kids need more unstructured play, and it needs to be OUTDOORS. 

And with that in mind, I've got a lot churning over here in terms of summer plans -- hoping to share more soon!
