Going on adventures with your preschooler
I can still remember the look of awe on my son’s face after a hike in the park. His pockets were full of bottle caps, stones and a few sticks. Children learn about their world by exploring their surroundings and they are naturally curious. The world is full of possibilities, so let’s go on an adventure.

Model curiosity and demonstrate a sense of wonder. Your child will want to go on an adventure with you. Value every adventure.
