The Outdoor Life of Children: The Importance of Nature Study and Outside Activities (Charlotte Mason Topics)

Love this author! I think the concepts she puts forth In this books are foundational for human development. A very wise woman. Modern life omits such human needs and natural spiritual growth. So glad I read this.

I would suggest the author write the parents or the caretaker instead of the mother. In my opinion, every adult taking care of a child should be willing to go out and play :)) Ideas for outdoor activities are quite interesting .

I loved how she believes in developing the children's observational skills so early on and so well. This book was really inspiring as far as getting the kids outside in the fresh air, and showed me how to develop these wonderful observational skills to help the children really experience outside life and nature, in full.I believe that more than outdoor skills children need algebra etc. so I wouldn't base my entire homeschool around this idea but I love outdoor time for a filler in between book learning.

Lots of great info and many things to ponder over in regards to raising children. Highly recommend.

If you are a Charlotte Mason Homeschooling mom, the books in this series are wonderful finds.

Very motivating and I will read it over and over to help me remember how to give my kids a good outdoor life

This book has good tips, but nothing new. It will help you if you are new to Charlotte Mason!

Received my book in the mail fairly quickly. It was in perfect condition and I havnt been able to put it down since. I am in love!!! Thank you so much.

A truly inspirational and timeless guide to a happy, flourishing childhood. A perfect antidote to the often sterile device-addicted experiences of so many contemporary children. Children belong to the natural world, to fields, trees, parks, open skies, the rich panoply of all living things as companions to their growth. It's often so hard for families to step out of the urban context, but if it can be managed just a little at weekends and holidays, something so healing and so sound will be imprinted on them as a base for their whole future happiness.

Very good content from Charlotte Mason a UK governess whose education system this is from. Outlines basics for outdoor learning with children. A good basis for home educators

I loved this book. A great introduction not only to Charlotte mason, but truly to the remarkable benefits we all stand to gain in spending more time in the greater outdoors.

Such inspiring and encouraging writing. In the first few pages I felt spurred on to get my kids outside more. Beautifully explained topic.
