hello From the editor Hello and welcome to this adventure edition of The Green Parent. I’m so excited for you to discover all the uplifting, positive content inside. As I write this I’m just back from a challenge walk. We’ve been dedicating a day at the weekend to getting the kids out to do a long walk which we know will stretch them. We just completed an adventure from a little Sussex village, over a snow topped Iron Age hill fort (where the kids slid and rolled down the slopes), into an icy valley and through some squelchy fields into town, where we jumped on a train back to the start. It was about 5 miles and my five-year-old struggled with some aspects. It was long, her legs ached and I’d put her in too many layers! After completing it though she was full of pride and excitement. As the train whizzed past the hill we’d climbed she grinned; “I did it, Mum!” I love my daughter’s sense of place in the downland landscape around our home. She can point out and name the nearby hills and valleys. I really want her to have this rootedness and an awareness of the land where she was born. I’m also keen for her to build up her resilience and capacity for longer walks. Our weekend adventures are part of this goal. And of course it helps that we’ve been joined by friends and family. Good conversation, play and plenty of other people’s snack offerings smooth the process! Spending the day doing this works for all of us – we all come back tired, hungry and grinning, and we often sleep better as a result, too. As well as bringing regular weekend adventures I’ve also been looking for opportunities for more functional movement for me. My daughter has this nailed – she loves crawling around “It helps that we’re joined by friends and family on our walks: good conversation, play and plenty of other people’s snacks!” like a bear on all fours, or hanging from tree branches. The last few years have left me a little more upright and less likely to play physically outside. I’m trying to approach outdoor spaces with my daughter’s mindset – everything is a potential climbing frame! Love to hear how you bring adventure into your daily life. Email me letters@thegreenparent.co.uk. With love from Melissa Editor + founder : EMMA CROMAN PHOTO connect with us, we’d love to hear from you Instagram @thegreenparentmag Facebook @greenparentmag Email letters@thegreenparent.co.uk Here’s what I’ve been doing this month: VISITING londonmusuem.org.uk for their brilliant Mudlarks gallery specially designed for kids under 8. EXPLORING Quadrobics – an all fours fullbody workout, which is all about jumping, balancing and crawling! BAKING A couple of requests for lemon drizzle cake for birthdays have had me reaching for the trusty recipe from yeovalley.co.uk – it’s so light and moist! JOINING borrowmydoggy.com to help my dog-anxious daughter feel safer with four legged friends in the winter months. THE GREEN PARENT • 7
