This week we're discussing chapter two from Lisa Murphy on Being Child Centered. The philosophical attribute covered in this chapter is "Children Have Lots of Outdoor Time." Sounds simple, right? This seems to be a topic Lisa Murphy is incredibly passionate about, and we can see why. She dispels myths and rumors surrounding outdoor play (can cold weather really make you sick??) and encourages us to know the rules and regulations for ourselves so we can make sure kids are getting as much time outdoors as possible. Why? Because it's so good for their physical, cognitive, and social-emotional development! Did you know kids who engage in risky play are more confident when it comes to literacy? There are other benefits to outdoor play that might surprise you, and we discuss them all! Enjoy :)
