We enjoy every season. But I do confess, since I lived in Minneapolis for 3 years, I really learned how to appreciate springs and summers as well. My kids love ice skating and sledding. And starting two weeks ago--skiing. I try my best to be out there with them in the winter, but since I grew up down south (Brazil), I really prefer going kayaking on a 100 degree weather. I agree with you.

Children need to be outdoors for fun, exercise and the ability to use their 'outdoor voices'. Parents are in control of this and have to get used to the words "go out and play." Hi Kakie,

Totally agree with you!
Children need to be outdoors for fun, exercise and the ability to use their ‘outdoor voices’.

Parents are in control of this and have to get used to the words “go out and play.”
